Windy and shower with series of fronts: April 16-22

Post by hillybilly »

Perhaps wishful thinking, but a bit of interest for the next few days with a fast moving front for Thursday, an upper trough through the weekend and another front around Monday. Will be mainly a southern and mountain systems. Looks like some heavy showers possible with the first front and the odd rumble.

Might see 20mm in total for the Nongs.

Well that was a bit of a fizzier to start. 0.6mm here in FC, and 2mm down at Walkerville. Couple of falls near the coast around 5mm.

Winds to go southwesterly later today so should see the odd shower.

Sure was a fizzer. The radar looked quite good when I went to bed last night, but in the end I guess it was all just too fast-moving. Heard a couple of very brief showers here, but not enough to register in the gauge.

Squeezed out a trace overnight. Just not happening. Another front to clip us today and becoming very windy near the coast. Front for Monday looks a bit better.

Turning into quite a bleak day here. After an unremarkable start, we've had horizontal drizzle for the last hour or so; temp 8C.

Drizzly morning in the Nongs with 1.5mm in the gauge and still coming down.

Currently in Walkerville where it has been wild. Storm force winds yesterday and overnight with winds gusting north of 100km/hr. Waves on the open coast have been huge. Bit more rain also... last three days have seen 2, 6 and 1mm.

90% of 5mm to 10mm predicted for today,
That's leaving us a little busy and hoping this doesn't happen
Clay gets so much heavier wet on a shovel.
Wasn't enough to cause us any problems yesterday..

Think that’s Monday?

Just the odd shower today and quite possibly fine for most.

4mm overnight in the Nongs from drizzle. Down in Walkerville got hill fog (at about 100m) and mizzle. Another 2mm. Classic warm air advection kicking in here with nwly winds picking up ahead of the next front. Showery day tomorrow.

This weak fronts pattern continues on and off the next week.

All good. Days just blur nowadays for most of us ;)

Windy rainy night here - well for about three hours - and now mild and very windy. 5.6mm in the gauge. Most gauges in our area showing 4-6mm, with a couple just over 6mm. Keeps months ticking over slowly.

Change proper pushes through during the arvo. Expecting the odd shower. Some could be heavy but sparse so might be zilch or a couple of mms.

Another weak front for Wednesday and another for Thursday.
