Another day, another round of severe thunderstorms! Mid level storm development started early (9-10am) in the Moree area and quickly tracked through into the NSW Northern Rivers. By midday, these storms became more surface based, with the first severe thunderstorms developing ear Tenterfield not long after. Soon, some of these crossed the border, with some assuming rather massive proportions. It was not long until the BoM was warning of “very dangerous thunderstorms” tracking across the Border Ranges towards Rathdowney, Beaudesert and Boonah. Eventually the whole of SEQld came alive with moderate to severe thunderstorms. 
Golfball hail is believe to have caused light hail damage to cars in the Ipswich area, where over 40mm fell inside 30mins. The cooling seabreeze and mostly northerly tracking of the storms prevented the coast from seeing the best of the activity again as expected. The lightshow was again entertaining however!
