Of all the days it would have been nice to see an afternoon balloon release at the Brisbane airport to get a good idea of what is happening in the atmosphere but it didn’t happen. Although the sounding it is a short lived view, it still gives you a good guidance between what happened in the morning and how that same atmosphere has reacted in the afternoon. In this case it would have been good to see if that fairly good cap has weakened or how the TT’s are increasing or decreasing, if cape has improved etc. A long list of valuable information.

But here is the latest STW for west of Brisbane. The current radar at 18:40 and Ergons lightning tracker. We could see or hear a few rumbles if not some showers at least going by the current tracking.
