Another 45mm or so here since 9AM.
The golden gumboot is looking good Scott, nice bit of landscaping there.
I've given up looking at the models for the time being, they're all over the place.

Now the JTWC are saying it’s 24 nautical miles NE of Cairns and conditions are great for quick formation. High chance of cyclone in 24 hours

No real surprise weary...you could see the rotation happening 24 hrs ago and southern rainbands had wind gusts up to 40 knots at lucinda while off Arlington reef up your way, 35 knots.. If it happens in the next 24 hrs I dont remember seeing one form from nothing so quickly and so close to the coast.... Anyone else seen this happen before...?

Wow, do they expect it to bomb overnight then? 20 knots with 1006Mb doesn't seem that close to a cyclone even with the rotation. |
Records for
2023: 2710mm
2024: 1884mm (no records April-Sept)
2025 711.6mm |

The radar is showing a hint of a circulation out around Norman Reef. No wonder it's been pouring here for nearly half an hour.
They say it's all moving south of Innisfail by tomorrow.
Your right Ron, the forecasting is crazy at the moment.

Thats exactly what they are saying Ron...next to nothing now but all variables are highly conducive to cyclone formation and away we go....hopefully its heads off south overnight like sheriden mist suggests... Nothing from BOM yet and its after knockoff time for them now . Which way was that heading 28...? Edited by user Tuesday, 28 January 2025 5:41:23 PM(UTC)

After a couple of 20-40 forecasts from wz, we're nearing 300mm in 24hrs. Very happy here.
Still pouring, the yard is getting a bit boggy though.

Still pouring, the yard is getting a bit boggy though. Yeah good steady wet season rain but at last we can be thankful its not the Jasper rain of a year back... That sort of rain was just so horribly destructive and I'll be glad if all we get is the usual wet season stuff that we usually come to expect and another year without any significant cyclones in FNQ..

Just emptied out the gauge in case we have one of those Jasper nights. 107mm here since 9. Seems to be settling a bit. Edit: Great minds think alike Weary. Edit 2020: Looks by the radar it's clearing south from here now. Maybe good falls on the Cassowary Coast tonight. Edited by user Tuesday, 28 January 2025 8:24:01 PM(UTC)

Anyway does anyone follow Tim....i think he is currently building an ark after his last post just 4 hrs ago....
