The latest ACCESS model seems to indicate a very wet few days from next Wednesday through till Saturday for Victoria and Tasmania

40mm here 15 km north of Launceston since 4 am and still drizzling.

Is there the chance of a similar event this Thursday/Friday?

Ex TC Yasi still seems to be going strong in Central Australia. The charts suggest it will weaken and move west. Is there any chance it will move further south?

Just looked at the National Radar Loop. It's almost as if Yasi is sparking off the whole continent. Very spectacular.

Many heavy showers this morning here in Launceston from the remnants of Bianca.

Hi Supercellimpact. What were the dewpoints in the recent rain event which affected Victoria and Tasmania?

Re: my post earlier today can confirm the official BOM rainfall recordings for the 24 hours to 9 am. Scamander 278 mm, Falmouth 282 mm and St Helens 250 mm. Many other locations in Tassie's North East received 150mm plus.

Further to my post before residents calling ABC Northern Tasmania from Scamander on the East Coast of Tasmania are reporting falls of 245mm of rain and its still falling.

Heavy rain has hit North East Tasmania overnight with minor flooding over roads. At 5.30 this morning Gray in the North East highlands near St Mary's had received 190mm since 9 am yesterday so it would be closer to 200 by now. The North West copped it as well with Wynyard recording 92 mm. A line of ...

Our last big flood in Launceston was in 1929. It was due to the flooding of the South Esk, North Esk and Meander River basins with falls in excess of 250mm in these catchments. If the models are right we could be in for a repeat!!

23 mm in the Tamar Valley today with consistent heavy showers. Looking at the NW Tas radar its almost done and dusted.

Heavy rain now falling in the north of tassie. Up over 10mm already and there is more on the way, a bit of thunder too!! The BOM in Tassie has just issued a flood watch. FLOOD WATCH ADVICE Issued at 3:28pm on Saturday the 11th of December 2010 Flood Watch advice for northern river basins Statement: ...

Quite a few fast moving heavy showers in Northern Tasmania at the moment, a weak front is passing through. A more substantial one is due to cross tomorrow afternoon. In the last event where I live 15km north of Launceston we had about 45mm all up with only one storm which hit about 3pm Wednesday aft...

No rain in the last 48 hours here in Launceston, not a drop. Forecast rain is yet to arrive. Overcast with increasing humidity.

About 8mm over the last three days in the Central North of Tassie. Looked very promising but fizzled. The humidity has been unreal however, all cleared away last night to a blue sky day. Latest BOM forecast gives us rain and thunderstorms tomorrow with more rain returning next Tuesday.

A rain band is moving through Tasmania with all but the North East Copping a drenching. Launceston is right on the edge of the band at the moment with only an occasional shower passing through. Some decent totals so far with places in the far North West well over 30mm since 3 pm yesterday.

Some small storms have just raised through the South East of Tasmania if you check out the Hobart Radar. 26 and muggy here in Launceston.
