Further storms ripped through southern Queensland yesterday bringing some of the heaviest February rain in 10 years. A storms fired up during Monday afternoon, the result of moist easterly winds colliding with a quite deep inland trough. The Channel Country was the main beneficiary, with widespread 24 hour falls surpassing 50mm. The best recorded were: - Quilpie hit 44mm - their best in 10 years for February. - Navarra took 48mm - also their best in 10 years for February. - Gillespie's 60mm and Tambo's 55mm were their best February rain in six years. The trough is continuing to deliver heavy falls over the inland today, as it migrates west. Although weakening, the trough should still bring some decent rainfall to bone dry parts of the NT and SA. The rain has added to the really good falls just over a week ago and has seen many places in southwestern QLD record 150-300% of their monthly mean, already.
