dead calm here, not much to see, that lightning front is over
80km away and i just got a huuuuuge rumble. damn thing is
contracting south.....as predicted.
bloody typical, predict something good and it goes bad,
predict something bad and it holds rock solid.

Was about to say the same thing. The island is just absolutely covered in lightning at the moment...

yer still looks good for anywhere south a line Cummins/Pt Wakefield/Loxton today. Again some people will get nothing and others might see 10mm.
South East certainly the bulk of it, and the bulk of the storms as well, with rainfall higher obviously down there as well.

Sounds like I'll miss out once again. Standard. Either just to the freaking north or to just the freaking south. Haven't had a storm here since November

Can someone please explain the variation in rainfall readings from Adelaide Airport to 9am today. Adelaide Airport 1.0, Adelaide Airport Alert 21.

How far away are the gauges? The storms were very hit and miss, and it's a fair distance from one side of the airport to the other.

Unconfirmed reports of 90mm at lucindale according to bom.

looks like naracoorte got hit hard going by the number of CFS, SES jobs

99mm
might as well round it up to 100.

I be correct it was actually unconfirmed reports of 110mm in 3 hours as Lucindale got a bulk of the rain but this storm did pack a punch as a mate of mine who does one of the fire towers down this way got woken up after 3 am by a massive crack of thunder and a fair bit of lightning as Thunda said this weather system is like something you would see in Darwin which is correct

Are you getting any of it RS? Looks like there is still a little electrical activity heading your way...

A big 10-4 on that Pooley had a good drink of rain early this morning at the moment its eerily calm with no rain falling at all something straight out of Darwin i say bring it on if there is a little bit of electrical activity yet to come

Are we for real in for showers and possible thundery this arvo and night? Not feeling it.

Humidity is there but yes, something is missing

Yeah nothing now for Adelaide, today was always the weaker side for us.

wasn't hard to see somewhere in the se was going to get trounced.
mild and muggy as hell here.
thought the ranges might have got a little something but not a
razoo to be had.
is anyone having trouble logging into WZ? they seem to have
deleted my account and don't recognise my email address let
alone my password.

TH

forum and thread.

Trying oh so hard to produce something, nice big clouds over Mt Lofty area atm....

Yeah, nice clouds over the CBD from my vantage point:
