Heavy showers on Queensland North Tropical Coast |
A strong, moist easterly stream deposited up to 270mm in 2 days on parts of the north Queensland coast around Innisfail. The heaviest falls have been in areas where the higher parts of the Atherton Tablelands and the Bartle Frere range have forced the moist air to rise. Topaz, 30km inland from Innisfail, 20km SE of Malanda and at an altitude of 686m, recorded 149mm for the 48 hours to 9 this morning, though almost all would have fallen in the last 24 hours. A further 134mm was in the gauge at 9am Saturday, for a three-day (mostly two-day) total of 283mm. Tully, 45km south of Innisfail, recorded 273mm for the two days to 9am Saturday, and Innisfail itself reported 131.4 over the same period. |
