WEATHER UPDATE: IT’S FINALLY OUR TURN
It’s been a great week of rain across central and eastern Australia thanks to a very, slow moving trough associated with a North West moisture feed.
The system stalled and broke up somewhat over the past 12 hours but is now re-organising itself and is ready to deliver some much needed rain to the region.
It should produce the best falls all Spring but that wouldn’t be hard due to the lack of significant rain all season.
The rain has begun to fall over the far North West Plains and will continue to stream to the South East arriving in the Hunter tonight. Early morning rain periods and thunder is likely before the system tracks to the North East spreading rain across the broadcast region.
As Friday rolls on thunderstorm development will become widespread with the potential to be severe. Because the ground is so dry localised flash flooding will be possible as it will take some time for the rain to soak in.
The trough will make its way across the Northern Rivers into tomorrow evening (Fri 8th) pushing over South East QLD during Saturday.
There is very little behind this system so we will quickly return to another dry spell.
FEATURED WEATHER SHOT
Kerry Cameron took this. I think any photographer would be happy with this result perfectly framed under the arch at Nobbys and then Mother Nature comes to the party to deliver a single impressive bolt from cloud to sea. This is one of my favourite shots of the year but you’ll have the chance to better it with lots of storms on the way.
