Crisp convection near Berrima

Early convection west of Moss Vale |
The 3rd February was one of those surprise days. The initial forecasts were nothing to get excited about, nor was wind shear. However moisture from a NE sea breeze was expected to intrude just a little inland, enough perhaps to overcome the drier environment NW winds. The initial convection near Berrima was quite surprising. Watching the rapidly evolving congestus from Bundanoon I met up with fellow storm chaser PingTang from Nowra.
