Parts of the east coast have received their best October rain in four years. Coastal towns dotted along the New South Wales and Queensland coasts picked up some healthy totals overnight with some of the most significant October rain since 2010. A southerly flow laden with moisture interacted with an upper level trough yesterday to generate scattered showers along the coastal fringe of New South Wales' Northern Rivers and Queensland's Southeast Coast and Moreton Bay. Naturally, Cape Moreton Lighthouse, one of the more exposed rain gauges along this stretch of coastline, picked up the heaviest falls with 26 millimetres to 9am today. However it was just inland at Beerburrum where 19 millimetres was collected in the bottom of the bucket making it the heaviest October rain since 2010. Across the border, Evans Head and Lismore both received the heaviest October totals since 2011 with 15 millimetres and 13 millimetres respectively. A few light showers are continuing to fall along the coast this morning, however the majority of these showers remain just offshore. Conditions along the Queensland coast should become progressively more stable over the weekend as the upper trough moves east. The isobars over the New South Wales coast will tighten up on Monday however, steering gusty southerly flow up the coast. Showers with these brisk winds are set to bring around 5 millimetres on Monday and Tuesday, contracting north as the week progresses.
