Parts of QLD have been drenched by the heaviest rainfall in decades and lashed by strong winds as a monsoonal low pressure system marches its way across the state. The system, fueled by the very warm sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Carpentaria, quickly picked up strength and plenty of moisture before making its way over land. As it moved over inland QLD it dumped 196mm of rain on Cloncurry in the North West, which is their highest daily rainfall total in 21 years when 327mm fell in January 1991. Cannington received 96mm which was the highest fall in 10 years. Heavy rain isn't the only feature of this monsoonal low with winds gusting up to 81km/h at Julia Creek early on Saturday morning. While the monsoonal low is keeping inland QLD busy, an associated trough combined with very moist easterly airflow to bring heavy falls to parts of the southeast coast. Hervey Bay was the hardest hit picking up 150mm which was the heaviest fall in over four years. Over the next few days the system should continue on it southeasterly track but continue to deliver heavy rainfall to the already saturated soils of inland QLD. Falls of around 100mm are possible today, especially in the North West and Maranoa and Warrego districts. On Sunday most of the activity will start shifting south but falls of 60-80mm are still likely. A Severe Weather Warning for Damaging Winds and Heavy Rain remains current for much of inland QLD.
