Checked out the Boonah web cam as the line passed through, plenty of rain and wind and a bit of water still lying on the ground there, although it did seem to pass through fairly quickly. Couldn't see any hail lying on the ground.

Friend just north of Beaudesert reports very windy and a lot of thunder around.

Well that was nothing to get excited about.A couple of strong gusts and rain for about 2mins amounting to 1.6mm.
I must say the radar looked good but as usual it splits going around Toowoomba only to improve around Gatton on
the way to Brissie.The line is moving at a good rate of knots.

Brief thunderstorm at 4:40 pm with some heavy rain. Max rain rate of 73.8 mm/hr and wind gust of 46 kph at 4:41 pm. 5.8 mm on the automatic gauge. The temperature fell with the storm and is now 21 C. The dew point have been rising with and following the storm but close to average. E to NE winds before the storm became gusty NNW to WSW winds with the storm and light NE to SE following the storm. Sharp rise in air pressure with the storm.

I am quite pleased with today, though at one point it didn't look good for northern Brisbane.

Horrible gusting wind all arvo with gum trees dropping limbs all over the paddocks. The wind has dropped off now and if that band can just hold together and reach the coast it will be most welcome.

I think a surprisingly decent amount of rainfall could occur on Saturday for a number of locations in northern SE QLD/some sections of the WBB in particular.

The SE to E wind change that stabilised the air over SE QLD after Thursday stalls then gets pushed back down the coast by northerly winds while weakening.
This allows a more humid and unstable northerly flow to temporarily return to the region and combined with the nearby trough, causes showers, some thunderstorms, and possibly some rain areas to develop in northern and northwestern SE QLD (and the northeastern Downs, southern and western Wide Bay and Burnett, etc) before some of this activity spreads a bit further south during the day.
Most of this activity then progressively clears out of SE QLD on Saturday night.
Some lower lying areas which experience rainfall may also get rapid dense fog formation at night after the rainfall clears.

It doesn't look like the far southern Downs and Granite Belt are likely to get a lot out of this, if anything at all, while areas like the Sunshine Coast hinterlands are more favourable.

I've summarised what I think are some of the more notable differences from what we had on Thursday:

1). Activity likely to develop earlier than usual in northwestern and northern parts of SE QLD (perhaps as early as morning in some places), partly due to more moisture and earlier onset of instability.
2). Could be some decent rainfall amounts in a number of locations in northwestern and northern parts due to more moisture (naturally, some places won't do well and some will, depending on where the deeper convection is).
3). Although the main focus for the thunder and better rainfall is likely to be in those northwestern and northern parts, some other sections of SE QLD are also in with a shot for some shower or thunderstorm activity, particularly if the strong westerly steering winds aloft advect any inland storms towards the coast (but less locations are likely to be affected compared to further north).... or if activity spreads further south than expected.
4). More morning cloud cover in northern, northwestern, & central parts - this, together with earlier initiation makes the chance of severe storms in SE QLD less certain than Thursday but the possibility can't be ruled out yet for some locations due to good shear.

WOW KEN a fabulous post there. Great report and thanks for the photos as well. BigGrin

Nice to see an event to keep the storm enthusiasts happy.

................

ACCESS r seeing this precip' signal over sunshine coast and hinterlands as well.

ACC r has weak precip' signal as early as 5am Saturday morning and strengthening during the day.
ACC giving the best, strongest activity between 11am and 5pm Saturday

Gradient winds showing a closed low west of the hinterlands at 5am
This structure then morphs into a well defined trough line during the day. SW on west flank and NE on east flank


Of interest is some quite strong gradient Southerly winds coming in behind the trough around 5pm Saturday for inland areas of Qld and extending right up to the gulf of Carpentaria.

Yes Ken your predictions were spot on. Some loud thunder here and some very nice rain. Feel sorry for one of the local state schools near here, no rain for ages and then a downpour on the day of the school fair.

Light showers followed by a moderate thunderstorm at 11:40 am which has now cleared. Some heavy rain with the storm with a maximum rain rate of 140.4 mm/hr at 11:49 am. 6.8 mm of rainfall since 9am. It cooled 2 C to 20 C with the thunderstorm and now the sun has come out with the temperature starting to rise again. Dew point rose slowly before the storm and more quickly with the thunderstorm and is currently 19 C and also the relative humidity rose with the storm. Light W to SSW winds became ESE to S following the storm.

Further cells are developing further inland. The bureau updated the forecast a few hours ago to a very high chance of rainfall and meteye shows the potential for good falls this afternoon.

Fine since the thunderstorm except for a light shower at 2pm. Cloud have been thickening with storms to the northwest. The temperature have been rising in the last few hours and reached 25 C and has started to drop. Dew point continued to rise after the earlier thunderstorm and have reached 20 C (moderately high). Relative humidity dropped back slightly but has remained high at around 75%. Wind have been quite light N to NE.
