Yes but slim, front due in around midnight will most likely be the best chance...

Tomorrow night on currents obs is looking a lot better with another front due will some colder air to follow, timing at this stage is around 8-10pm

That's some solid red out there near Kangaroo Island in a nice line, also some some heavy showers heading to the south of the GAA also with some orange/red cores in them.

A further 1.8mm in the gauge from overnight showers, takes my total to 7.8mm! Don't know where these forecast storms will come from tonight and tomorrow! Cold pool doesn't look that well defined on radar!

About 6 mm total here since rain started yesterday. There was a moderate shower about 320am (I reckon about 2 mm's worth).
I hope the light rain added some extra charm to the wedding and the party smile Hands up all those who predicted light rain for much of yesterday afternoon from middle level cloud, when the topic of the wedding was first mentioned? I thought so - nobody! poke

Yep, I see showers confined to the southern suburbs until late afternoon with the odd storm after midday, there should be some large intense cells about later...

Storms for the GAA??... Still going with what I said last night, after dark tonight as the cold pool pushes in across the coasts towards Adelaide, instability is fairly weak but given the high shear it may be enough to produce something smile

Just keep an eye on the tracker below both gulfs & across the coorong for some sparks later...

6mm up here for me which is more than I was expecting but is a dodgy amount because it will bring up weeds but is not really enough to start seeding oh what to do what to do.....

My lips are sealed Roves - I don't want to say anything to influence your decisions in case you plant up big and there's a two month warm and dry period coming up, or you don't plant up yet and there's a series of ideal follow-up rain events coming wink

On the subject of storms I see that BOM have downgraded their storm forecast for Adelaide for Monday to "A slight chance of a thunderstorm in the early morning."

Pouring down here at the moment. Enough to cause the Foxtel signal to go out.
