BoM storm forecast indicates probability of strong downdrafts in any storms that develop today (mainly in the south). Willing to put money on Canberra getting their nightly storms again tonight.

Looking forward to being part of the action when I arrive in Northeast Victoria and Southeast NSW later today, hoping massive thunderstorms will be raging over the Snowy Mountains when I arrive in Corryong!

I'm cowering in the office today. Outside the sky has that dirty heat haze thing going. Can't see any significant development but this is good, when stuff develops too early it often fizzes. Desperately hoping for storms or something to cool us down or at least entertain us this evening!

Some nice development starting over the ranges. The Wagga sounding looks a little more unstable today than yesterday - mostly due to higher lower level temps and DPs for southern inland NSW that are holding into double figures (just).
So very good chance of more storms in the ACT this pm and Ant sorry but tonight will be warmer than last by quite a few degrees... Enjoy the office air-conditioning!

Lots of scenic things in the sky to the south of Canberra, but that dirty heat-haze is everywhere else. Hotter tonight, damn, I was dreading that. How foul.

....aaaand the scenery is still to the south. Unless it suddenly starts marching north, we're in for nothing but a hot NW wind from the jaws of hell tonight. The western horizon is just a hazy hot expanse of nothing and by now you'd be expecting to see something.
Greg was right, yet again.

Wow what a stinker, instability looks to be hanging around until late evening however hard to see a trigger. Uppers not cold enough and without an easterly this evening might be confined to southern ranges.
Tomorrow's conditions look far more favourable. Colder uppers, late easterly inflow, good shear profile.

argh. they're going to turn the alarm on soon and shoo us all out into the furnace! There's nothing on the western horizon, zilch. radar shows some gorgeous stuff down Bredbo/jerangle way, and south of that too, pink cores. There's even a little thing hatching around Captains Flat, I'll no doubt get to admire that as it's only about 20 km from me. And the incoming line near the western border looks awesome, but both sets of weather might as well be on the moon for us tonight. We rarely get an easterly the night before a front arrives. I closed the house up this morning, expecting epic storms before I got home. It will be like an oven.

Hope you got a piece of that flash flooder just east of Nimmatabel Greg!!!! there would've been some nice cgs with that im sure!!! Nice convergence down there. Chance of storms in the forecast for tomorrow, though when 39c is predicted,you have to imagine RH will hover between 10-20% meaning high based. Given we're in the worst storm season in 1000years , im not expecting anything more than two rumbles, maybe a few fat raindrops,and of course an evening scum/mizzle fest. High cloud is buliding this evening, though a clearing around Wagga indicates a possible nice sunset, though these sunset chases are out numbering storm chases 10 to 1 at the moment...

Models are not showing anything of note for the CT's until Thursday. Just perfect summer weather now, finally can sit out on the deck in the late afternoon and evening without having to wear 3 layers of woolies, just lovely 26 atm. Still only top of 28.8 here, not a heatwave until I reach 30 by my definition.
Ant you must nearly have some of those storms on your door step atm. What is your temp around now or sunset?.

Slight bit of middle level development to Cbr's NW as the surface winds drop out. Whilst not a high likelihood - I wouldn't totally rule out the possibility of some storms developing overnight to our west as the trough approaches.

Amazing amount of lightning to my north west for the past hour - don't forget, I'm 12 k's south of Batemans Bay. Was originally very distant, but rumbles now being heard. Looks like the Canberra radar is having problems again, annoyingly. Last frame I saw had some deep red colours in it. Really annoyed that I've just gone looking for my digital SLR. I've got the battery, and charger but not the freakin camera. I hate packing for holidays with kids. I always forget MY things. Anyway, had a screaming nor-easter for most of the day today here at Malua Bay. Annoying, but very cooling. Homer

Friggin Canberra radar has gone off! i'm watching a big flashy thing to my east (got some photos of the lightning, too, yay) and according to the radar, it's not there. And wonder of wonders, we have an easterly. A SE actaully, and quite blustery. Awesome. 23.3c outside, 27.8c inside but at least that cooler air is getting in. Off to photoshop these piccies. The structure of the cell is interesting, lots of detailed ice cream CU, with a fat anvil blossoming out above it.

I was lying in my driveway, quite mellow and enjoying the residuale heat from the pavers after the hot day and watching the distant lightning and hearing the thunder walk and talk. The cats were keeping me company and so was a nice glass of wine.
I was NOT expecting the massive BOOM CRACK SMASH overhead at all and I spilled my wine everywhere and scuttled inside like a scared little girl.
My husband thinks it's funny.
Hopefully tomorrow will bring more spilled wine:)
