Weather & Hail Warnings

[Ralf*]

Hey there Ralf,
Got an SMS stating imminent storm with hail in Randburg

Any info regarding this

looking at the 75KM radius Irene Radar image, there is a small cell approaching from the west, behind it is a larger cell, south of Rustenberg, so very far away at this stage.





looking at the Irene Radar 300km radius image there seems to be a lot more hectic weathe right on the Vaal river and just south of the Vaal river, moving eastwards.

just having a look at the most recent Irene image, some red contours now in the area north of Hartebeespoort dam towards Brits

another cell with red contours out Delmas way

nothing in the greater JHB/Ekurhuleni region

massive hail storm in springs just started lucky my car is undercover

 

[Ralf*]

looks like something "sneaked up" from the storms over the VAAL, just skirting Springs and moving northwards to Bapsfontein

Another cell over Brits area, moving towards PTA north, seems to have lost some steam, but still strong enough for a bit of heavy rain

Hail risk on my weathersa app for
Jhb/midrand.

Thunder storm on the east rand, but looks like it has passed...

 

[deveng]

Looks likea false alarm. Sun coming out in midrand now , storm clearing up

 

[Ralf*]

some weather, red contour currently over Gillolys area moving eastwards, centre portion of the storm had red contours about 5 mins ago as well, CBD of JHB city moving towards Greenstone area

Any news for today?

 

[Ralf*]

one massive thunderstorm stretching from Gaberone right thru Gauteng to Villiers/Franfort

its gonna rain, might rain hard with lightning, but the contours are not in the dangerous zone, so my personal feeling is that it won't "hail"

slightly more intense contour colours out towards Springs/Heidelberg way

---

currently the storm leading edge is Springs thru Alberton to Soweto...moving east to north-east
