Nice storm and rain at the moment. A couple of big bangs. Glad I had an early night

2mm from this mornings rain takes me to 15.2mm.

Reports of over 100mm out Innot Hot Springs way. Someone snapped a good photo too.

95mm at Bilyana to 6am.

29mm of much welcomed rain.

Has anyone else noticed that the 00z EC runs have had crazy rainfall totals lately? The last 00z run had nearly 1000mm falling in 10 days for Mackay and surrounds. The 12z run always winds the totals back considerably.

Also do people find the 12z runs to be the more accurate runs generally?

GFS seems to be modelling the Tablelands area rainfall better than EC at the moment.

Oh my, oh my! My reaction when I measured the Nylex this morning - 188.5mm, super heavy rain in the night with storms.

That awesome GnL. When I drove through Caldwell I was surprised how brown it was.

Holy Moly GnL!!

Amazing. Mud splatter everywhere due to the grass being non existent but a lot of our trees will be saved now. Lost the landline for the internet- a small price to pay.

So good that everyone got something. It will lift everyone’s spirits after the horrid weather spell we’ve been through.

Looks like you may get some more over the next hour or so as well.

Heard a couple of others on radio 175-185mm
Unbelievable Lucinda 6mm

*12.4mm here, from yesterday afternoon

6mm from light rain after midnight.

Good light show but too tired to watch after a day trip to Cairns.

Drove into a torrential wall of rain east of Mareeba yesterday afternoon, after a stinking hot day. What a joy to be getting wet around town.

Got out to Arriga and sun shining again of course...

(No aircon in the car.)

102mm to 9am at Bilyana.

78mm here...

That would have been a ripper GnL…!

Sure was patchy though.....Tully had just 15mm..if that reading is correct..?

194mm was our final total. Not too shabby.

Scott how much of that fell early yesterday evening? Was in Tully early evening last night and it looked as though it was bucketing down up your way.

Cells are already popping up.

65mm and one dead frog recorded in the nylex this morning.
The creeks are flowing again, and the main creek has risen, but i am sure if there was no more follow up rain, they will stop again within a few days.

Looks to building nicely right over Chillagoe C@28

Sf,it was mostly all between 11.30 and 1.00..


So whats the concensus.?..tonights the last chance for anything substantial on the coast...?
