some follow up stream showers today but the coldpool with the
best of the coldies will be gone east by sunrise.
we'll remain in a general westerly with early showers on monday
for the duration until the next front monday night\tues morning
when winds will kick around to s-sw with an associated burst of
showers easing through tuesday.
after that things will fine up rapidly with the godzilla ridge
from hell moving in for the duration with a possible front
between highs around next weekend.

TH

22mm overnight.
i had a great sleep

I think there'll be some badass frosts around Wed-Sat. Pretty much 100% chance the Renmark Airport frost hollow will be under the BOMs 0C forecast...

12mm in Clare from that front, pretty happy with that...don't however like the look of the coming weeks with these big bastard highs establishing.

A beautiful 8 degrees outside and dripping wet, finally feels like winter.

14.0mm all up here.

***godzilla ridge from hell***
***big bastard highs***
***badass frosts***
hmmmm...... with all this official s.a. meteorological terminology
flying around i would think one would seem to be getting a bit
of a hint there might be something going on here.
by the time this is over we'll all be hanging out for cold
fronts and rain not for the wet but to simply warm things up
a bit.

Woke up yesterday morning to find a surprising 15.7mm in the gauge. Maximum recorded temperature of 13C under the fig tree yesterday, brrr.

Another 1.6mm until 8am this morning.

Yer looking like some frosty mornings this week for sure...
Longer term, hopefully EC isnt correct with the ridge/high basically staying in the same spot for 2 weeks!
I favour a reasonable system early next week going by the other models, and dont look at GFS in 2 weeks time as its on drugs lol.... with a stupid NE infeed/inland low lol.... not gonna happen...

Absolutely bucketing down at Athelstone at the moment - have had heavy drizzle up here since about 9am this morning, yet the radar barely shows a drop - can't wait for Buckland Park to come back online.

What time is the next front due through the GAA tonight?

Been raining pretty much all day long here :-)

Yes seems as though the eastern burbs are experiencing heavy showers. 3.5mm shower at approx 1:45pm and another downpour working its way through at 2:30pm.

another 7.8mm today, takes me to 21.8 all up. since the pre
frontal trough sat. morning.
coupla heavyish showers but mainly hardcore heavy duty drizzle.

tonight the actual front is due through between 1-3am depending
how far south or north you live in the GAA.
its a very laid back affair, from adelaide east running about
45°and from adelaide west running about 30° off the horizontal
tending to almost zonal above the high.

Saturday's weather was a real slobber knocker/ball tearer event even if it was only short lived still provided a temp cure for SDS this week looks alright for being outside apart from as you described Thunda ***badass frosts*** pretty much could say brass monkey balls mornings

Pitter patter - still raining - 25mm since it started last Saturday.

Sellicks seems to show it ok:

another 6.8mm from the front last night


models have the'possible front' on the weekend as something
a bit more substantial early to mid next week now. couple of
quite interesting progs from access and gfs, different from
each other but both quite droolable in their own right.
access has your bog standard garden variaty cold front but
the real rabbit out of the hat will be the retrograde
cyclogenesis and cut off cold pool pushing against and
overcoming an incoming ridge from the west. i'll believe
that when it happens and if it does it will certainly be
one for the books or at least its own thread.
gfs on the other hand has an already formed low bubbling
up from the deep south under w.a. against an incoming ridge
then heading west through the bight to t-bone us, the best
part of this one is as it gets to us it is progged to hook
up with a moisture infeed from the north coming down through
eastern n.t./western qld. if it does happen we should do
pretty well depending on the timing of the moisture hook up
but as usual with these setups the eastern states always do
much better.
all pie in the sky at the moment but at least something
interesting to watch and comment on rather than anticyclonoic
gloom and frosty mornings.

27/5 = 0.2mm
28/5 = 15.7mm
29/5 = 1.6mm
30/5 = 7.7mm

gives a total of 25.2mm, a good old fashioned inch.

And another 6.5mm over-night.

i'll take the bait, yer 0.2 short, but hey......who's counting.

as far as the models go the weather systems are teflon
coated atm, come hell or high water gfs is still hanging onto
that cutoff low, be interesting to see how long it takes to
turn into a hot potato.

TH

It will be interesting to see if the GFS can pull a rabbit out of its butt mid next week Thunda the prospect of said low hooking up with moisture from the Territory/Western QLD should be enough to have everyone frothing at the mouth however like you have mentioned it all comes down to timing and whether or not it happens

However it would be worth keeping an eye also on said rabbit in the hat retrograde cyclogenesis/cut off cold pool happens as well it would make for an interesting mid week weather event providing it doesn't poke its tongue out at us then go smash NSW

Buckland pk radar out till the end of june

rofl RS, yer that second scenario is certainly droolable but
i think if it did happen the poking it's tongue out at us
and smashing NSW is the more likley scenario for sure.
we won't get too carried away, models are jumping all over
the place trying to get a handle on things, still a good
week away at the earliest, plenty of time to sit and chew
the fat.
