Alrighty, potential showers/rain for some! Possible storms for western coasts! 5 - 15mm for mainly southern areas! Hoping its closer to 15mm, gardens need it!

Yay ! Finally a thread , hmm i really wish that Adelaide could get some decent rumbles but oh well frown
Imo most of our rain will come on the Sunday/Monday when the front roars in, i should get around hmmm 6 mm from this event, i'm expecting maybe 1 or 2 mm tomorrow with that light rain band .

Also some specky clouds out there this afternoon and evening !

Yep, definately showers and or rain on the way starting in the early hours of the morning. not much in this first lot, but the ground will get a drink. The precursor to a wetter part of April.
I'm hoping / expecting 10 - 15 mm by wednesday.

Yer doesn't look as promising rainfall wise as what it was earlier in the week.
As has been mentioned, probably 15mm top of the range. 5-10mm mostly, down to 5mm in Mid North/Riverland.
Probably the good sign is the change in weather patterns, and the likelihood of follow up fronts coming.... Just need some decent moisture and a strong front.

You can see the front now starting to spark up behind that band, even though it won't last too long !

Delightful outside atm. Temp 20C. Light fog, a few spits and spots and the sea is very noisy.

The State and Adelaide forecasts were updated at 9:34 am - they are suggesting the rain will be more widespread and persistent than originally forecast.
Still looks like being a lovely or at least a pleasant day despite the patchy rain for those who are engaged in outdoor activities eg well for arguments sake a wedding or a party poke

yer KGB007, i'll agree, the air sure smells sweet. So far nothing to record as yet but i'm sure we'll get a reading eventually.

Must note, those sparky clouds out west of Eliston - Port lincoln. Will be watching that line as it approaches. It will of course, slide south but more will form north of it. How much and will it get hear, throw a dart at the dart board and see what you get.
