Today held much potential instability, but a huge cap on the sounding and some high level cloud drifting in from the west during the arvo put a stop to things until later in the day. Towards the end of the arvo, activity started firing to the NW of Brisbane, with steering winds guiding them SE, but they collapsed before getting to the southern suburbs.

Around 8:20pm a couple of larger cells around Marburg & Mulgowie looked to be heading towards Beaudesert.

So we took off down Beaudesert Rd and stopped around Cedar Vale.

The cloud to ground lightning didn't last long after we arrived and the system soon became a large area of rain.
