Brief heavy rain in NSW | ||
A band of moderate rain with
sporadic heavier falls moved southwards through NSW today. The rain
developed under a significant upper pool of cold air (see chart), with
the heaviest falls occurring between the upper Hunter Valley and
Tamworth. Keeva, near Nundle, recorded 33mm in the 24 hours to 9am
Monday, while Tamworth registered 31mm at the Airport. Much of the rain
fell during the few hours that the main rainband took to pass, as can be
seen from these registrations for 3 hours: Norah Head on the Central Coast
10mm to 6am, Bellambi in the Illawarra 12mm to noon, Wagga Airport 10mm
to 6pm, and Albury 10mm and Tuggeranong, south of Canberra, 11mm to 9pm.
However, a second area of rain gave the upper Hunter/Tamworth area close
to an inch of rain between 9 this evening and 3am Monday, with Tamworth
Airport recording 20mm and Murrurundi 22mm during the 6 hour period.
