Funnel cloud possible tornado near Mudgee 1st April 2012

· by Jimmy Deguara

A funnel cloud occurred this afternoon.

I was sent this image from Ben Marskell from near Mudgee this afternoon. Looks like landspout dynamics in place given the high bases as well as lack of windshear. I would suspect a boundary existed in the area.

Nice catch for Ben – there were several storms that developed today and a severe storm warning was released by the Bureau late this afternoon.
