I think the dry westerlies down to about 850mb are good for instability and one of the reasons why Canterbury is so prone to severe hail in late spring/early summer. The Alps ensure that upper flow is dry.It goes to show that thunderstorms can still trigger even with the dry westerlies aloft.
Good idea. I have also snipped out the southerly change event from Friday. Nice pics Jason and Steve!Jasestorm wrote:I thought i would create a new topic so its easier for future reference finding instead of being in general weather which it definatly wasnt.
Perhaps the mods could move the comments from everyone about yesterdays happenings into here from the general November topic.
tbh not 100% sure, probably around 730ish......Paul Mallinson wrote:Stormchaser, what was the time of that last picture you added (the one of the hail producing storm)?

Absolutely, and its the dedication and passion in chasing storms that comes through, and, everyone gets caught up in it (well I do ) and that is the inspiration for the rest of us to DO IT... like last month... when TG Snoopy and the rest of weather guys went chasing... talk about teamwork... anyway... you guys THUNDERSTORM ROCK!!! honestly... awesome!!!Andrew Massie wrote: Cheers, Mate!
