A nice upper trough and a few days to build up some moisture and you'd never have known it was August which is often a dry month filled with westerly winds and dry frontal changes. A nice bonus to ease the SDS in the lead up to spring.

The first cell N of Caboolture had all but evaporated when I got close. Nice mammatus on the back end though.

Cell near Maleny. Much of the precip wasn't reaching the ground even though the radar echoes were quite intense.

After receiving a radar update, I headed west through Woodford and Kilcoy before stopping near Toogoolawah where I scored some nice lightning.
