Things that go BOOM 💥 This was from an early afternoon pulse storm over Darwin Harbour a few years back. Shot without a #lightning trigger using just an ND filter and a whole bunch of shutter abuse 🤣 A little wider would have been nice, but oh well 🤷 Note the upward leaders off the water ⚡

Probably should start using this platform again so here's a shot of some #lightning from an isolated thunderstorm tracking south of #Darwin harbour a few seasons back ⚡ #weather #Australia #TopEnd

Recent #lightning shot captured from Nightcliff foreshore in Darwin, Australia ⚡ Shot on Sony a7Cii + G Master 16-35mm @ 16mm f-13, ISO 200, 4 second exposure It made a big boom 🤣

The sun has risen over Invest #97S which is looking quite healthy, with lots of convection sustaining over an organizing center. Models are hinting that it could become a TC within the next 2 days, and ensembles are showing it could threaten #Australia Next Name = #Fina

Surging waves inundating our hotel during the approach of typhoon Fung-Wong recently. Significant storm surge damage occured up and down the coast of Aurora Province, Philippines and particularly our location in Dinadaiwan. Nasty storm 🌀

Meteorological spring has sprung down here in #Australia which means it's almost time to get back out there chasing down some whacky weather. Big plans to cover a bunch of the country this spring/summer starting with a stint over in QLD & NSW commencing mid month 🌩 #StormHour

One of my favourite non-tornadic storms from this past US chase season. I almost dropped off this guy an hour or so earlier after it looked fairly ordinary, but glad I stuck with it. Palo Pinto, TX #StormHour #txwx

Saw some impressively structured supercells out on the Mississippi delta yesterday, but none better than this guy over by Winchester, AR. The thing was lofting some ridiculous lightning as we pulled up too, but alas I managed to miss most out of frame 🤦‍♂️ #arwx #StormHour

Only a few weeks left until we're on our way back to the United States for yet another severe #storm season. I'm not sure what to make of the seasonal outlooks, but I do know that you miss 100% of the storms you don't chase by staying home! So, bring it on 🌪🌪🌪 #TornadoAlley2025 #StormHour #USwx

Been a little quiet in terms of #storms across the NW #TopEnd over the past week or so, though we did see a weakish shelf cloud tracking in over the #Darwin area late this afternoon. A transition to westerly flow in the coming days may promote an increase in coastal storm activity 🌩️ #StormHour

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Given a fairly loose CAP, we're seeing thunderstorms get up quite early today around #Darwin. This guy over near Shoal Bay was slinging a bunch of bolts around the joint at 11am! #TopEnd #Australia #drone #weather #StormHour

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Shelf clouds have definitely been a thing lately up here in the #TopEnd 🤷‍♂️ All of these shot with the #drone from the comfort of our front patio over the past week or so 😎 #Darwin #Australia #lazychasing #StormHour

After a few days of drier air keeping a lid on things across the #TopEnd, storms returned to #Darwin this afternoon. A couple shots from the #drone, including a frame grab from the video of one of the many large clear-air #lightning bolts this storm produced ⚡️ #StormHour #auwx #Australia

I hear it's the first day of meteorological spring over there in the US, which means it's also time for us Aussie chasers to start thinking about making our annual pilgrimage to #TornadoAlley Looking forward to getting back out there, see y'all real soon 🌪🌪🌪 #TornadoAlley2025 #bringiton

With the setting sun illuminating the rain curtains, #Darwin city in the background looks dwarfed by this approaching storm earlier this evening. Moving forward, some drier air moving into the #TopEnd will likely keep storm activity muted for a few days now 😎 #AUWX #Australia #StormHour

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Though probably not as spectacular as the examples of the past few days, the run of afternoon shelf clouds tracking in over the #Darwin area continued this evening. Little meaningful precipitation from this guy but pretty none the less 🌩️ #TopEnd #Australia #weather #StormHour

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Yet another very pretty late afternoon #thunderstorm rolling over the #Darwin area earlier, probably for the 3rd or 4th day in a row now. These outflow-dominant storms are often a feature of the later stages of wet season here in the #TopEnd 🌩️ #Australia #auwx #ShelfCloud #StormHour

Another day, another guster rolling in over #Darwin. This particular example is being illuminated by vibrant sunset colour as it passes over Knuckey Lagoon. #TopEnd #Australia #ShelfCloud #StormHour

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

After another stinking hot day across the NW #TopEnd, the cooling outflow from these decaying inland #storms is always welcomed. In this particular instance, we saw an 8C drop in around 10 minutes. #Lightning storms are also currently ongoing to the SW of #Darwin ⚡️ #StormHour

Doin' it pretty tough back in Port Hedland while we wait for the Great Northen Highway to become passable after TC #Zelia wreaked havoc on the river systems. De Grey River is experiencing record flood levels, so it remains unclear how long until until waters recede 😎🤣 #wawx #struggles #sendhelp

Another pretty little #supercell from last season, this particular one went up on a chaotic boundary collision up in far NW #Kansas. Wrapped up nicely for a period before getting undercut shortly afterwards 🌪 #kswx #tornadoalley #StormHour

Persistent heavy rain and some freah and gusty winds about the place this morning, but other than that it's all pretty tame... for now. Final preparations have been completed and storm shutters going down at our location. Remote cameras have been deployed 🌀 #TCZelia

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Good morning from Port Hedland, Western #Australia The anticipated westerly drift expected from Severe Tropical Cyclone #Zelia failed to eventuate overnight and as a consequence forecast tracks have put Port firmly back in the cross-hairs for possible direct impacts later today. #WAcyclone

051

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Shelter in place alerts are now being sent out up here in the #Pilbara as Severe Tropical Cyclone #Zelia is getting set to make her final approach to the coast over the next 18 hrs or so. Intermittent heavy rain & moderately strong winds in sweeping outer bands, but nothing crazy just yet 🌀 #WATC

041

Jason H (AU) 🇦🇺 @oreboundimages.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Distinct differences in forecast track for TC #Zelia #18U, with the US JTWC favouring a drift further west before dropping onto the coast and the BoM suggesting the storm will remain quasi-stationary prior to making landfall on Friday. Both suggest a strong impact on the #Pilbara 🌀 #WAcyclone

Tropical Cyclone #Zelia will move over this blob of very warm water in the next 2-3 days, where sea surface temperatures exceeding 31°C will help it strengthen rapidly. Current forecasts suggest landfall over the Pilbara coast as a category 3 severe tropical cyclone on Friday.

Some of the most recent deterministic & hurricane modelling for Tropical Cyclone #Zelia has shifted possible landfall locations further west in line with a persistent signal from ensembles. Whatever the case, we're on the #Pilbara coast covering the system over the coming days 🌀 #18U #WATC

Another day, another guster rolling into the southern parts of #Darwin. Mid-level winds are beginning to transition back to a more E/SE vector now which should aid in increased thunderstorm activity closer to town over the coming days 🌩️ #Australia #TopEnd #storms #StormHour
