Some good rain in the North

Unread post by CbFan »

Currently getting some good dumps of rain in the Far North (Since about 2pm). Several localised and intense cells passed over around 1500Hrs with some strong winds and heavy rains. Currently chucking it down like the proverbial and surface flooding already starting to manifest. The radar is nice and pretty at the moment :)

Will post data from the station tomorrow when I get to work (Not net-connected yet.)

One lonely grumble of thunder so far today, but the bottom of some of these cells are sucking stratus up like vacuum cleaners - unfortunately the bases are too messy to get any decent visuals.

Cheers
Pete
