Petar @ Sdny Weather Freak Registered: 09/03/2007 Posts: 570 Loc: South West Sydney	It's also riding along a strong southerly change. Hoping for the rain. We need it.

Steve777 Weatherzone Addict Registered: 20/10/2011 Posts: 4040 Loc: Artarmon (Sydney North Shore)	Well, I see the new forecast has upgraded the coming wet spell to 'event' status. Hope it comes off. The gardens here need it. As do the farmers. I had a short, sharp shower here about 3:00PM but the later cells missed me. Chatswood picked up 1.0 mm, probably in about 3 minutes. We'll see what happens. It was 27 on the car thermometer when I got home about an hour ago. Edited by Steve777 (24/02/2018 23:42)

Knot Weatherzone Addict Registered: 01/05/2014 Posts: 2560 Loc: Toronto N.S.W	Change seems to have gotten lost just nth of Sydney. Ran out of puff I guess. Very uncomfortable night up this way.

mkeene(pingtang) Weather Freak Registered: 03/09/2011 Posts: 530 Loc: Nowra,NSW	Finally some decent weather to report in this neck of the woods. Moderate rain for the last couple of hours verging on heavy at times. Rain rates pushing a steady 20mm/hr as well. Also the occasional thunder as well, makes it a lovely morning to sleep in. Definitely much welcomed, been very dry since last March. _________________________ Heaps of Thunderstorm footage From Benalla to Beaudesert

GringosRain Weatherzone Addict Registered: 19/06/2007 Posts: 1530 Loc: Quorrobolong NSW	Originally Posted By: Rainbow Spirit Unless something develops soon, I just can't see anything close to the rainfall totals that the BoM have predicted. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. Its just going to develop right over the central east....so its not like you are going to see a huge cloud mass coming down from the tropics or something. Checkout the 950 v 500 level winds to see the advancing upper trough. Its slow moving and collides nicely with a pretty good onshore feed. Certainly the Hunter should get a good drink tonight I think, but it should be a nice wet day right up the east from the Illawarra. Finally!!
