Severe Thunderstorm is very likely later this afternoon or evening in Canberra region

[Gavin O'Brien]

Hi all,

Watching the Canberra Radar as a line of severe thunderstorms move east southeast towards the ACT from the Tumut  /Batlow area. Surface Heating /high humidity levels with tropical moisture inflow combined with a cold front/trough and upper-level trough are providing strong convergence in the system. 

I expect heavy rain, Posible damaging wind squalls and hail with be a part of the storm.

take precautions now.

Currently 36.4 degrees here with 35% Humidity, a light 10 km/hr. Northwesterly and Barometer reading a remarkable 991.1 Hpa. and falling rapidly.

Cheers

Gavin
