This was a relatively short chase out to Esk and then back to Lowood/Marburg to witness a beautifully structured supercell move north across the plains west of Brisbane.

First storm west of Esk had a solid updraft and looked good for an hour before dying.

As I raced south, the updrafts were punching up nicely creating a bend in a cirrus streak.

The striated wall cloud - not bad for the first chase of the season!

The wall cloud was starting to change shape here and became more circular.
