Severe storms have been firing up this afternoon across the region. Conditions have been ripe for storm development with high temperatures and humidity. There is a southerly change approaching and that is helping to create the instability allowing the huge cumulonimbus clouds to form. There is a lot of moisture that has built up in the atmosphere and that is also helping to fuel the storms so there is going to be the potential for heavy down pours, localised flash flooding will be a possibility tonight and tomorrow for northern NSW and SE QLD.
Once the instability clears conditions will be cooler and the cloud cover will linger with more showers to develop across the weekend. It’s not looking great for boating and quality waves will be hard to find for surfers. The southern corners will be the pick on Sunday after the swell comes up a bit.
