Time for a thread here for this one, this will probably be more 'wild' than any of the lows we had over the winter season just gone... Firstly a weak trough is currently passing over the southern agricultural areas with some brief showers, but these won't amount to much. Further east an aloft a very strong jetstream is present and driving a large cloudband of tropical moisture SE wrapping into the developing low pressure area with thunderstorms over a large swath of the NT/QLD/NSW and VIC. Tomorrow morning (wednesday) a cold front on the leading edge of the deepening low will move across the agricultural areas with a band of rain, probably reaching the Adelaide area around 9am. Before this, winds will gradually freshen from the NW overnight and into the morning and could be gusty on the arrival of the rain before easing temporarily. The rainband and cold front should clear eastwards after this with the back edge going through the the Adelaide area by about 1130am or so. Now initially there will be a brief clearance from the subsidence immediately behind the front but a pool of colder air aloft will de-stabilise the atmosphere from the west during the afternoon, reaching the Adelaide area from about 2pm onwards. Showers, heavy at times with isolated cold air thunderstorms (the odd rumble and bolt not frequent lightning) will then occur over a large area of the agricultural areas, especially Southern EP (reaches here from the mid morning), YP, gulf areas, hills, southern mid north and KI. There is also a fair chance of some small hail in the stronger cells as well as very strong wind gusts, especaially later in the afternoon when most unstable air comes through maximised by the strongest wind shear in the lower levels. The deepening surface low south of KI will have a strong low level jet on its western and NW flank which will wrap up and around towards the gulf areas and KI, YP into wednesday evening. The instability decreases here but moisture increases as do the winds with strong to gale force winds likely with potential for damaging gusts (see Bureau warning). Showers will become more frequent and squally and possibly tend back to rain about the Adelaide Hills with some local heavy falls likely here. The period between about 8pm and 1am will be pretty wild before things begin to ease into thursday morning. Rainfall generally 10-20mm for many southern ag areas, decreasing to 5-10mm further north and less than 5mm for far northern ag and pastoral areas and also the Riverland. Adelaide should see 15-25mm with isolated 30mm falls possible and the hills 25-50mm with isolated 60-80mm falls not beyond impossible in the known wetter spots. TS

Tomorrow morning (wednesday) a cold front on the leading edge of the deepening low will move across the agricultural areas with a band of rain, probably reaching the Adelaide area around 9am. TS Spot on. The rainband struck here at Lockleys just on 930am.

Huey just sent it down in the CBD. Heavier than a sunday turd after a night on the pale ale.

I wish Mt Lofty was more lofty, another 2km or so would suffice.

Managed 10mm from the cold front, leading edge was well marked by a line of convective showers typical of stronger cold fronts. Brutal wind to follow tonight, be strong gales out on the water, possibly storm force around areas west of KI later. TS

Good hailstorm in Mount Barker with a good clap of thunder as an added bonus.
