A few sprinkles here today, and not the sandwich type sprinkles either Mostly sunny though.

Looks to be some showers/rain on way towards the end of the week.

Warmer than normal indian ocean temps thus more moisure to suck up

Could be some serious storms on the cards for friday throughout the wheatbelt, looking potentially severe around that lake grace area.

STW out for areas north and east of Perth. Hoping Perth can finally see some action.

Nice thunderstorms North of Perth this arvo. My question is we had such good development north and nothing metro, what was the straw that broke the camels back so to say.

Is it due to the lifting at 950 because of the convergence & confluence I've circled in pink?

The obs between Perth metro and where the storm fired weren't too far away from each other, so where was the difference?

Perth was right on the trough line instead of east where the storms fired. The light seabreeze kept the storms east of us. How storms develop tomorrow will depend on where the trough is.

Thanks for your reply. I take it the convergence I circled is part of the larger lifting caused my the trough line then? Almost like embedded pockets of lifting within the overall trough?

I say this because the storms fired on the same longitude as Perth, but just north and moved east from there.

Good chance I'm wrong though =)

Radar looking like popcorn chicken at the moment. Wondering whether I should grab the camera and head east.

It seems like the Metro area is being affected by a weak cold pool. Here in Marangaroo we just had a typical cold pool shower and there are more showers on Perth radar.

Quite warm yesterday, margs got to about 35 degrees max.

Did anyone lose power as here it was nearly 6 hours last night ?

I use EWN from time to time Craig, I'd say it's all sourced from BoM? From memory last Friday was a chance of storms (according to BoM and EWN) for the inland lower west which did eventuate, well it was basically the wheatbelt.

Today --> Saturday looks interesting for south WA! Some heavy falls forecast inland on Saturday, hoping for some moisture/storms to get pulled over the metro area.

STW out for large parts of WA today. Decent looking storm east of Gero, tracking south.
