129mm mostly in sharp short showers in between lighter stuff the rest of the time..

Radar might be fixed but Tully and Bulgun gauges arent updating on the BOM pages for days...

Tully had double our rainfall yesterday not sure about the past 24 but the roads cut again between Tully and Mission with a body truck coming to grief yesterday....

Today is the day that the real rain starts for us apparently with Tully to Rollingstone in the main zone...

i was doing a bit of reading on Precipitable water levels yesterday which i found were one of the main indicators for possible rainfall intensity..

These are building from now until tuesday when they will be at a very high level which means very heavy rain possible and even worse if it is held up by mountains or forms convergence zones which is what happened down around Ingham/ rollingstone a few weeks back..

Stole these from Weather IQ FB page (first one is today with 2nd being Tuesday) from my limited understanding apparently below 25 is dry..above that is wet,over 50 is very high while anything over 70 is basically extreme and off the chart which can lead to torrential downpours/flash flooding...
