Current Sydney radar loop looks really weird. Blink, and you'll miss it.

Current Sydney radar loop looks really weird. Don't think that's real. Hopefully they don't have to take the radar offline to fix it now that it looks likely we'll get real rain. There's a weak Southerly on the Illawarra. It passed Bellambi about 7:00PM. That will bring cloud and light showers once it becomes established . P.S. while OH failed to record any rain from weak rain bands that have passed over Sydney in the last few days, it did get 0.2mm out of a clear sky between 2:30 and 3:00PM today. It will probably be buried by real rain before 9:00AM so it won't matter, but surely this is a malfunction. Assuming it rains before 9:00AM at OH, that will end a 29 day dry spell.

Gee models are looking savage for QLD coast and NE NSW! But GFS looks amazing for next weekend for us and Sydney with up to 50mm forecast Friday/Saturday.

We will get rain soon, the rains in Queensland will move down to our areas. Not directly of course but as the weather warms up and we get more easterlies, the rain will fall.
But wow how good is that setup for QLD. Moist easterly winds but more importantly, upper cold pool to support it.

Yep good enough to give us some drizzle patches tomorrow, but yeah going to be some good totals up there!! A weird day here today, started of with clear skies and then by a 11am it was quite cloudy and threatening to drizzle, but it cleared just after lunch with a good ole sea gale blowing in.

Certainly some warm humid weather the last few days, feels more like late summer or early March. Hopefully the 90% chance of 5-10mm of rain tomorrow eventuates, and a nice mild temp of 22C, nice change from 31-32C.

Is that line offshore from Gong for real? Lightning active?

...Ice cream vendor warning. And yet it still refuses to rain properly. As has happened a few times recently, there are a few light falls about Sydney, mostly in the North, mostly under 2 mm. There seems to have been no rain here and just the 0.2mm of fake rain at OH received yesterday afternoon. The radar looks odd. It shows a few small shower cells out to sea and on the Central Coast, but they don't seem to be moving. Gosford recorded nothing to 9:00 spite of having one of these cells over or close to it for a while.

Collected about 0.8mm this morning from a 20 minute light shower. Just enough to make everything cold and greasy. It just refuses to rain properly. Horrible weather really, only slightly better than the strong westerly winds.
Next 7-14 day storm outlook is dismal. Absolutely dismal. Might as well right off October.

Whatever you do don't look at Brisbane or Grafton's radars.
Kizz, welcome to summer 2017/18. 😣

Cool to mild with SE airflow, ominous looking for showers, but only 0.2mm since 9am and 0.4mm to 9am. October still tracking well above average in temps, about 2C above average, and higher still at Tocal which does have long term records, but well short of 1988 which was a very hot October.
