Finally heavy rains have drenched drought stricken areas of NSW with well over 100mm of rain falling in some regions and more predicted. Some rivers are in flood with a potential flood alert for other rivers. The Hunter Valley and the North West Slopes as well as parts of north eastern NSW are also to be affected by heavy rains.
This all is the result of Tropical Cyclone Laurence. That severe tropical cyclone made all the way inland with continued tropical cyclone warnings which is very unusual.

Hi Jimmy, An interesting aspect of the developing rain event is that GFS was forecasting this well over a week ago. It’s not often the charts remain so consistent. A high ridging NE into the northern Tasman Sea is a perfect situation to cradle a coastal low for a couple of days. Brisbane could do with some heavy falls though I suspect the worst of the flooding potential will again effect the Bellinger River.
The latest GFS rainfall chart is attached. Some parts of the Tweed Valley and SE QLD have had over 100mm of rain already.

Hi Jimmy – hope all goes well with these final days before the birth. Things will certainly change again for you 
The focus of interesting weather finally shifted to the Southeast of the country with a series of cold fronts and lows passing through. Many locations have received between 50 and 100mm and some over 100mm. Adelaide, NW TAS, SW VIC and the higher ground of eastern VIC have done well. Snowfalls have fallen to low levels particularly in Tasmania where forecasts were indicating snow down to 400 metres elevation. Quite a bit of damage has also occurred due to strong winds.
Of course these sorts of patterns bring lovely sunny and warm days here and the rest of the week looks fine.
