Thank you for the heads up Colmait. I am still leaning the whole Cape, LI and convection thing, but I will have a look at the charts and see if I can come to the same conclusion. Any knowledge from you and others is greatly appreciated!

Hopefully after the fires this week and the continuing dry conditions, we do not have dry storms with next to no rain reaching the ground level. I guess this is a reminder for me to go and clean the gutters, because the gum trees have filled them up with the recent wind.
