Auckland Hail
Theres a nice Cb to my west doing some pretty interesting things. It was twisting and turning and rolling and getting darker.

its pretty hard to see in the photo, (it drops on an angle , to the lower left,out of the left most indraft base) but dang if someone had a camera and they were much closer, it would have looked dam nice
there was also a thin verticaly aligned rope cloud just before it appeared, as well, higher up on this side of the cloud
becuase the shape of the funnel persisted for at least 3 minutes, it convinded me it was not scud cloud

The upper shear just hit that southwestern Cb photographed but some seaward convection is still trying to fire it up. Some T/Cu firing up above here.. pretty darn good for the winter solstice!!
Comparing upper throughs of late.. this one is churning quite slowly
