New Storm (General)

A month later, to the day, we've got a very similar situation building:

Low Pressure system drawing in massive moisture from an overheated Coral Sea to the NE and unloading on the hinterland around the Qld/NSW border. With a blocking High to the SE.

It's crazy that these systems aren't simply called Cyclones - then we'd have a track - there'd be a Cyclone Day-off declared - people could be given evacuation options - at least people would be alerted.

Later, our hapless authorities will again say it was 'unprecedented' - even though it happened a month ago - plus a bunch of times before that.

The blocking High is not as imposing this time - currently - with luck, a weakness develops so it can move through a bit quicker. If that doesn't happen, we're looking at an action replay. Even if it does, some areas in this region will be flooded.


Will be watching the rain totals/radar very closely. Today & tomorrow will tell the story.
