A cold pool moved over SEQ over the weekend and as winds swung SE'ly dragging moisture inland, storms developed along the ranges from the Border Ranges to Wide Bay. I chased the Sunshine Coast area encountering a nice cell near Tewantin which exhibited rotation and I also intercepted another cell later near Nambour which had a nice Shelfie.

The only view I got of the under-side of the BEAST. Very nice bell-shaped structure under the main updraft.
