Well, finally the potential for a bit of rain! Not sure how much we will get but I'm always hopeful. GFS does seem to place the "core" of it passing a little south of Adelaide:

Stronger NW tending W overcast cool thunder ...front appears to be just of coast, or nearlyhere... how much rain , who knows, time will tell.

Under leading edge of front... sustained thunder and heavy rain just started

About to head off to work - guess I'll start a time-lapse on the weather-webcam.

Here she comes

Looks a bit less threatening now. >.> At least as far as lightning goes.

Very nice!

Front from Mitcham...



P

13mm in that first load.
very satisfying.
2nd band looks like its dying out.

I did originally post a thread up for this system two days ago...

One of the better fronts that have moved through the state, Naracoorte taking the lead on gusts with a solid 115km/h

Adelaide Area faired 70-80, 96km/h at home. 3mm so far. Still hoping for 25mm

Yes Paisley, great to see photo of guster, thought might be good one as I say in other thread haha

Up to 27mm here now

panorama of the front as it rolled towards the CBD. It kicked up a huge cloud of dust as it passed over the airport, but my poor old phone couldn't zoom in that far for a good photo

27mm here

Apologies - I threw the thread up and later realized you had wrapped it in with the "heat" thread.

PS: Great shots of the guster rolling in - I was driving to work and went from sunshine into pelting rain!

Here's my time-lapse - 1 hr is 48 seconds if I remember correctly:

Several rain gauge sites in the Hills exceeded 25 mm in the 24 hours to 9 am today.

It was sure nice to get some rain and the cooler temperatures are surely welcome.
7.8 mm system total so far..... Still disappointing there was no pre frontal rainband before it all started ....

20mm in my rain gauge so far.

20mm in Clare thus far and still drizzling. Got next to nothing from the first front but the second delivered well. Dust storm was rather speccy on the first front with low convecting cumulus glowing orange full of dust near sunset. I expect if we get another strong front E.P. will deliver more duststorms until they get a drink.

Anywhere east of the ranges very poor rainfall but that's to be expected with systems like this.

43mm from the system so far
