Radar of Border Range Supercell
Thanks to Tony Wedd at the Severe Weather Section in the Queensland Bureau of Meteorology for supplying the RHI radar imagery! Click on the radar images to see full sized scans.
The 3:30pm scan showing the BWER developing in the storm cell. A donut can be seen the horizontal scan highlighting the BWER!
The 3:40pm image still showing the BWER.
4:00pm image showering a WER (in between pulses), a large amount of very high and maximum reflectivities in the upper region indicating a large amount of hail. In the high resolution horizontal scan, a V-notch can be seen on the northern edge of the storm.
The BWER takes form again as hail begins to fall in front of the updraft and develops the bounded overhang. Some of the hail is falling in front of the storm and can be seen falling towards the ground. A large amount of hail is still evident high in the storm. On the horizontal scan, a very prominent V-notch and wide hook can be seen on the northern edge of the storm. The anvil can be see flowing off towards the SE and spreading out in a typical triangle manner.
The above loop is
supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology. The main storm can be seen
developing in NE NSW, it moves slowly ESE before changing direction to
the ENE. It then begins to move towards the NE and eventually NNE.
The anvil streams off to the SE while the main core of high reflectivity
is very close to an area of no precipitation on the northern and northwestern
edge suggesting a well organised storm. At times even a v-notch is
present, although it is much easier to see this on the high resolution
imagery as this resolution doesn't show it as well.
