A rare severe thunderstorm warning was issued this afternoon with hail the main threat! This storm seemed to develop and track along a boundary. The coastline when zoomed into the area is generally east west. I wonder if there was an outflow boundary drifting from the northern activity earlier in the day. Check the radar for the whole radar sequence.

For those hungry NSW chasers, check out Tasmania – even if it got a warning this afternoon! Check the radar here!
