A line of thunderstorms passed from southwest to northeast across the south central and the southern part of the north coast of the state during the afternoon. Embedded thunderstorm cells caused widespread damage to near coastal farming communities between Gladstone in the south and Mackay in the north. One of these cells passed through the Mackay Pioneer Valley region and produced golf ball size hail that damaged crops and caused minor house damage. Another cell developed to the west-southwest of Gladstone and moved through the Gladstone/Yarwun region and caused hail damage to fruit crops
