Yesterday’s hailstorm was fairly severe, with the SES called to over 230 jobs in the Ipswich area. The biggest reported hail was just bigger than golfball size (5-6cm diameter) and there were also winds to around 100km/h. You don’t want golball hail propelled at you at that speed! The damage consisted of dented cars and broken skylights and windows. A few injuries (bruising) were reported as well.
Storms are possible again tomorrow but they aren’t expected to be severe. A cloudband currently across much of SE Aus will move across southern Qld tomorrow and there is the chance of storms developing on the leading edge. Today, storms have been quite active across the southern inland and northern inland of NSW. After this system clears, a return to SE winds and cooler temperatures is expected, before conditions warm up again at the end of the week.
