While most of the action has been confined to QLD, pockets of heavy rain have fallen over parts of the NSW Upper Western district. A deep and moisture laden trough has been generating very active thunderstorms and heavy rainfall over parts of southern and eastern QLD over the past few days. However, yesterday afternoon the southern extent of this trough stimulated heavy showers. Walgett managed to position itself right underneath an intense downpour, collecting almost 13mm in 10 minutes. In total, the town collected 23.4mm, which goes down as the heaviest February fall since 2012. The figures suggest that this is healthy follow-up rain just days after a colossal 99mm total with the passage of a thunderstorm, however yesterday's showers were so isolated that their effects would have been negligible. Nevertheless, any rain is welcome over this part of the world and it looks as though we may see another light dousing before the weekend is out, although generally less than 5mm.
