thought I would start a topic for the current showers/weak storms that are around the place

on radar it appears to be growing bigger and heading for logan.... cant wait!

I will just re post my photo in this thread, this was shot at 2.56PM in Ipswich

now hearing thunder!

looks like it is turning north now.

Looks like the storm cell has died off a little bit...

Have not heard any thunder for a while but it has cooled down a lot in the past 20 minutes or so

When it went through us at Jimboomba it dropped 12.6mm in 30 mins at max rain rate of 68.3mm, with the worst in the first 5 mins. It was an interesting drive to pick the son up from school, but when I got the camera out for the trip back home it had stopped raining more or less, and the water had mainly drained off other than a few places that normally have the pools of water in the rain had them.

Edit: wind gusted up to 33.1 kph

Well just went outside to have a look and this is what I could see! 3.38PM



It's looking very dark!

I think the storm is out of puff now.

It's been pretty humid all week. I've been in some massive downpours over the last few days but they have been very isolated .

Sitting under a shower from the sky here in Toowoomba at the moment. Looked at the radar and not much else around, just a blob here.

It is pelting down here... lightning and thunder... just waiting to lose power, tho maybe not right where I am as we are on the same grid as the private hospital so dont often lose power thankfully

rather suprising storm here, I didn't see it coming! Started as a sprinkle, moving to heavy rain, then wind, and then thunder! Got a fair bit of rain, AP has recorded 2ml, I have 35ml in our gauge.

yes swamp-lady, its amazing the difference between the airport and in town measurements. I would guess we got over 40 here where I am. I didnt get my gauge out in time (but will check with my next door neighbours in the morning). Reports on facebook of flash flooding in the usual places.

Someone reported that Rangeville got "about 70ml"

When i got home tonight i was wondering why it was so wet then i found out that we got 15.6mm in around 25/30mins. i didnt even know there was something on radar hahahaha

Well, my donut hole certainly lived up to its reputation. Just as that storm (or rather, it's remains) approached, the rain decided to head east. Total today: 0mm.
