The broad trough that had been sitting over NSW the last few days moved a little further NE today. There was still plenty of moisture around as well as some good instability however there was a certain lack of "Steering winds" up high, unfortunately that meant one thing .. Pulse Storms. These Storms are great for Lightning Shots, a quick microburst and small hail but blink an eye and you may just miss it. eat chase.

Towers went up over the Blue Mountains and Wollembi around 11am so headed West to Hazelbrook where I watched the first storm of the day put out some fantastic CG's to the north. Structure wasn't too bad with a nice flanking line sitting to the NE of the storm however each new updraught that went up was pushing north , not a good thing as no roads are available. I pushed further towards Leura and managed to capture a nice low base to my north-west with a fairly solid rain curtain next to it (I believe there was Hail reported from this around Katoomba at this time). This base feature died around 20 minutes later however another weak cell had gone up to the South of me spitting out the CG here and there.

Around 230pm I headed towards Lithgow/Bathurst as towers could be seen growing steadily to my West. Arriving into Bathurst the line of towers had now formed a nice little Cell just to the W of Bathurst. Knowing the nature of the short lived cells I moved a little further North to the town of Sofala where the newer towering cumulus were forming. Over the next hour I managed to capture some fantastic CG's from the line of bases to my SW.
