This photo above taken by Justin Noonan and shared to fb shows the huge dark plume of smoke towering over the landscape from the out-of-control Emergency Warning Level fire at Rappville southwest of Casino.

At time of writing this, 5 of the fires in SE QLD/NE NSW have now reached emergency warning status (including one approaching Laidley and one SSW of Gatton as well as three in NE NSW).
The particles in the plumes from the fires are also clearly visible on radar.

I've just seen some more recent photos he took of the Rappville fire and they have to be seen to be believed. Hopefully he'll share them publicly soon.

It's hard to look at this multimodel accumulating rainfall graph for Brisbane and not think that most people in Brisbane will probably get at least some rainfall later on Friday or on Saturday, even if it isn't drought breaking and some people may get less than others.

Not quite as hot as yesterday but that wind was wicked. Looking forward to cool temps and some moisture later in the week. WATL this morning looked great, ECWMF tonight even better for us but a bit optimistic.

After the very warm morning the temperature reached the maximum at 34.7 C just before midday. In the afternoon the temperature rose and fell several times while generally falling. Between 3pm and 4pm the temperature rose slowly before finally falling properly from 4pm. ESE to NNE winds mostly today, SW to SSE in the late afternoon and early evening mostly before the dry WNW to WSW wind change with light and gusty winds from 7:12 pm. The temperature rose very sharply with the change which rose from 25.8 C at 7:14pm to 29.9 C at 7:30pm and to 31 C at 8pm before starting to fall again.

Except for a brief fall in dew point at 9:30am the dew point have been stable and near average until the wind change. Relative humidity was also near average today (low of 37%). Following the wind change the dew point and relative humidity fell off a cliff. The dew point fell from 17.7 C at 7:12pm to 5.7 C at 7:15pm and since have continued to be very low while falling slowly. Relative humidity fell from 61% at 7:12pm to 27% at 7:15 pm, and continued to fall slowly and have been stable at 14% since 8pm.
