Bredbo's been in the box-seat for storms this "summer", it seems. well, that area sure could do with the rain, the Monaro plain was in some epic drought, for decades, so there's a lot of catching up.

Heaps of rain, thunder and lighning and some heavy fogs in the mornings

Saw something awesome on Saturday arvo, had to go to Central Coast for a sick relo. Follwed heavy storms from Lithgow all the way across Bells Line - leaves and small branches EVERYWHERE - suspect plenty of hail. Looking towards the Katoomba side of the Grose Valley - it was very black and looked nasty.
We were just on the tail end of some obviously very heavy storms - chased them all the way across to Windsor.
Got a good heavy storm and hail about 2pm near McGraths Hill VERY windy and very heavy rain with marble sized hail for about 20 minutes.
BUT the most spectacular thing we saw were two HUGE waterfalls on the northern bank of the Hawkesbury just upstream of the mooney bridge. I'm talking HUGE waterfalls about 2km away pouring over two cliffy valleys ends - looked sort of 20m wide and say 30 to 40 m high, 2 valleys only about 1km apart pouring into the Hawkesbury over the cliff like sides. In all my years going up and down that region I've NEVER seen anything like it.
Would love to have taken a photo but they probably frown on people stopping in the middle of the bridge over the Hawkebury. Dave - saw the same thing a little while back after some heavy rain while crossing the Hawkesbury River. We stopped on the north side of the river but couldn't find a vantage to view the falls. Very spectacular as you said Andrew

That sky to the west of Canberra is looking good. But will it make it into town today (or should I say to more of Canberra than just Tuggeranong)? So Greg, the point of convergence of those wind stream lines is where the cells will form?

I called it the Mooney Bridge - Doh!! I meant the bridge over the Hawkesbury on the Freeway - Brooklyn. Gee I'm a goose.

I don't know which topic to post in, this one or the newer one. Everyone's in this one... Canberra's western horizon looks angry! And the radar looks even better. Surely we'll get it this time, although I actually got some solid and useful rain yesterday evening, the storms just clipped me. And look at Jerangle, it's at-it yet again.

Heaps of rain, thunder and lighning and some heavy fogs in the mornings How's the drought there now... pretty-much gone, or are the effects still happening? That area was in some weird micro-climate for years and years.
