Hey Guys,
Hope all is well. Have just noticed storms going up in southern central Qld (St. George and surrounds) with a STW issued for that area. Also noticed storms going up in northern NSW (Boggabri and surrounds).

Cheers,
Chris.

And yet another warning went up for the region surrounding Gunnedah briefly yesterday afternoon. Interesting to see the boundary interaction as cells developed - some to the south and others towards Narrabri.

The Gunnedah radar is getting a bit of a workout early in the season.
