What a flop that one was

Yea has been a bit of a let down up here I haven't even got so much as 1 drop out of it yet though EC has a shower surge pushing up from the south sunday into monday so I hold on to hope that this can give me something semi worthwhile.

It wasn't a flop at all, the system always carried a high degree of uncertainty & I for one if you see my take on it this morning gave it no confidence of doing much at all, & I'm sure I wasn't the only one as some of the other guru's didn't even bother posting there thoughts

Recorded 1.5mm here this morning.

Thank goodness the models are starting to show at least some sort of consistency with the weak upper low/trough on Mon-Tues... Hopefully see 5mm or so in most areas.
Of course not really enough..... Will need a decent front in the next couple of weeks for sure I think for the farmers!

10mm here in the gauge at Curnamona since 9am this morning. Still sprinkling now.

Yep , same here TIM, 1.5 mm as well, i did expect a little more than that, but it's enough to keep the lawn watered for a few days.

Thanks Redbucket for that info on Curnamona and the 10 mm report too
The heaviest fall I can find among the official aws guages is Moomba Airport with 31 mm since 9am Thursday, and looking at the BoM map of rainfall in the past 7 days looks like much of the far far north-east had quite usefull falls.
When I drove to the shops yesterday arvo it was raining but it was just a few scattered tiny drops on the windscreen. Drying faster than it was wetting.
Here's hoping as Roves says for some showers still to come.

I think we may need to do something to make the storm gods happy so they can bless south australia with that storm WA currently has

The tracker shows one or is it two flashes of lightning on western EP earlier this arvo associated with a radar echo.

I see it's a complex state forecast for the next three days and the latest BoM four-day rainfall predictions are:
"Cumulative rainfall totals from Sunday morning until midnight Wednesday are expected to be 10 to 20 mm near southern coasts, 5 to 15 mm near western coasts and 1 to 5 mm over the remainder."
This is not done yet

OH JOYYYYY,,, drizzle,,,lol

Definitely not done yet... the upper low forming in western VIC will move to eastern SA later today bringing a reasonable rain event to parts of central & eastern SA!

Models now suggesting 20-30mm in some central and eastern areas of the state by Tuesday!
With a minimum amount of 10mm, so will keep the farmers happy for the moment...

Also a chance of some storms along the SE coast, and Mallee this arvo, extending to sth coasts and Fleurieu overnight.

Very nice drop of rain here in Elizabeth Park 10 mins of heavy rain some minor flooding, maybe more to come in a few min...

I'd suggest the chance of hail as well tonight and tomorrow.

Big mistake not bring the washing in when it was nearly dry. At least it's getting a good rinse!!!

But it does look great as it moves along the Northern Suburbs with the Contre-Jour lighting.

Been cold here at home today. My max temp was 12.8 degrees at 12:43 PM and rainfall today is 3.6 mm.

I see " Chance of a Thunderstorm" in the forecast now... i highly doubt we will see anything except Heavy downpours and maybe the odd small hail.

Yeah not much chance of a storm tomorrow for Adelaide, best chance is between now & the early hours of tomorrow morning(3am)

Upper Low is moving slowly North up the Eastern border caressing a broad area of instability with a pool of cold air to it's Western side which will pass over the Southern Suburbs tonight & early morning tomorrow..

Heavy falls likely tonight South & East(mainly Lofty Ranges) with this approaching band, looks very intense

Actually todays drizzle turned into a very surprising 5 mm with 3 or 4 showers containing the goods.
More on the way tonight / tommorow as others have said.
could get up to 20 + mm for some.
I'd expect nothing less than another 5 + mm for myself. Could get another 10 - 15 on the other end of the scale.

Had a couple of decent showers today here in Brighton, one around lunchtime which was very heavy and caused the gutters down jetty road to be a minor torrent for 5mins or so and another about an hr ago nearly which had 5seconds of small hail towards then end and was very abrupt in nature, stopping almost instantly.

Now we have showers tending to a nice rainband pushing up around the wrap around from this nice little sfc low/upper low combo, good comvergence on the western flank which is where we are which with assistance from orographic lifting often provides good totals for the Adelaide Metro and Mt.Lofty Ranges. 10-20mm generally but isol falls to 30-40mm are definitely possible, most likely in the hills.

Most will fall from this band before things turn back to showers and drizzle areas (lots of drizzle patches lately too). Good to keep those totals ticking along.

Really must get my gauge outside, too bloody slack!
