MIXED BAG EVENT PROJECTED FOR EASTERN AUSTRALIA! (credit: Melbourne Storm Chasers)

DISCUSSION: As a complex forecast situation evolves during the course of this week, there are expectations for a complex low-pressure system to slowly develop over Central to Eastern Australia before impacting sections of East-Central and Southeastern Australia.  As this process gets underway, much colder air filtering into the aforementioned regions behind the passage of a cold front will help to support the generation of hail in association with intense thunderstorm (i.e., located primarily across the Southeast parts of the country) while snow and sleet predominantly falls across the higher terrain of regions located closer to Central and East-Central Australia!  It is important to bear in mind that while across much of the Northern Hemisphere we are entering the beginning of the Summer months, it is the beginning of the Winter season across many parts of the Southern Hemisphere including across many parts of Australia as detailed further in the post below courtesy of the Melbourne Storm Chasers staff!  To learn more about other high-impact weather from across Australia and the South Pacific, click here!
