Showers have continued to drench coastal parts of northeast New South Wales and southeast Queensland, with some places seeing their heaviest April rain in half a decade. The rain that soaked central NSW yesterday shifted north during the day as a weak low pressure trough moved up the coast and combined with moist onshore winds. The highest totals were in the northeastern corner of NSW, with widespread falls of 50-70mm. Myocum received the highest total in the state with 95mm to 9am, while nearby Mullumbimby picked up 90mm, its heaviest April total in four years. Evans Head also copped a drenching with 82mm, the towns heaviest April rain in five years and heaviest rain since January. In southeast QLD there were widespread totals of 30-40mm, although parts of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and Gold Coast saw up to 50- 70mm. Showers should persist over the next couple of days, although they should be significantly lighter with most places likely to see less than 15mm. However, heavier showers may redevelop on Sunday as another trough moves through the region.
