Good choice of date Ree, was just going to post and say I'm away on the 5/6 May weekend. Assuming I don't end up having to work, i'll try to come along.

Hi all. Gee there's been some very nice scud showers here this arvo/evening but have only recorded 8.8mm. The clouds are moving across the sky so fast the showers are over as quickly as they start. Been good to get them as it's been warm/dry for a week or two now really drying out the ground.

I'll try to make the meeting on 28th. Where are you having it Ree? I'd suggest Airlie lagoon but not sure if kids soccer in Mackay or Prossy on that day. Soccer is in Mackay on 21st, so could be in Prossy on 28th.

Gota go, footy's on, GO BRONCOS. smile

RR, you should be a happy camper! 30 to 6. Not a bad score.

Wind is still blowing like crazy here. Have had 2.1mm rain in the last few hours. Brings MTD to 15.1mm.

GFS is forecasting some a return to unstable conditions next Wednesday 25/4, with LI's around -2 to -3 and CAPE around 1000 j/kg. Isolated thunderstorms would have to be a possibility. A long way out and sure to change I know but something to watch in an otherwise boring and uneventful week locally. laugh

Just a little reminder that we're organising our second Central Coast & Whitsundays Weatherzone group meeting & everyone is welcome. It would be fantastic to meet some more of you. Put faces to names & get to know your fellow WZers. There's no cost & you can have a great time talking about the weather with like-minded people who don't get bored with the subject laugh. The date has been tentitively set as the 19th May (to be confirmed). Time (mid-morning) & venue TBA. PM Ree or myself to get more details. Most of us still have our weather "L" plates, there's a couple of "P" platers & open licenced, so don't be worried if you're not knowledable, we all share & learn. The atmosphere is casual, we're a friendly mob, so come along & join us!cheers

Hi guys haven't been on here much in the last couple of weeks because I haven't had anything exciting to report. It hasen't rained at our place for over 25 days now. Time to start watering the grass again. The meeting sounds like a good idea and will try to come along.
