Will the NT get one last blast of heavy rain?

Post by **Matt Flynn** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 9:41 pm

From BOM ...

Territory Forecast. Issued at 5:00 pm CST on Tuesday 9 March 2010

Warning Summary. Nil.

Current Weather Summary and Future Developments:
A strengthening high moving into the Bight, extends a ridge into the Alice
Springs District. A dry southeast flow will gradually push further north through the Territory, reaching the southern Top End tomorrow. Isolated showers and storms over the Victoria River District and the northern and western Top End will contract to the north and west coast on Wednesday. However late in the week a trough over western Qld moves into the Territory, causing more moist and unstable conditions with shower and storm activity, to gradually extend across the NT.

Hope your right Ernie. Back to work Thursday for two weeks, the timing would be perfect!

Heading to the Daly for the first time, if we dont get anymore rain, do you still think it will good fishing or does the Daly need more rain?

Looks like you're going to get another burst in 4-5 days.

Now the question is to the run off experts,will the rain be beneficial or is it just wasted now being this late? In being wasted,I mean the rivers have already dropped and started to settle,bait being swept off the floodplains,etc,therefore another late burst of rain is just wasted? Or is this theory incorrect and another top up will bring on another hot fishing phase?

Not sure if I want a massive dump,I'm up in 2.5 weeks. Prolonged rain this close to my trip may stuff me up.

We got 18 mm up until 1700 y'day, got a shirtload after that too, anyone else get decent rain?

It was good timing , I was just getting out the sprinklers and getting the bore ready to go hard 'cause it has dried off so quickly.

FMD......I don't want another monsoon, I was looking forward to the Daly dropping, settling, the nice green water starting to come down and the fish getting back on the snags!

I reckon the Classic and depending on the amount of rain, to a lesser degree, the Nationals will be rooted by another monie. It will be sort of between a fair dinkum run-off and a settled river. Anyways have'nt the rainbows already done their breeding and the floodplains flushed, where is the bait gunna come from if there is another run-off?

My thoughts.

It has certainly been an "interesting" end to the wet Blinky.....no doubt the mob from Blazer's Palace will sort it out!

A little bit of coastal rain from this will be ok - no good, but ok.
But if it all lands inland and pumps the rivers back up its gonna be crappo.

It looks like the low that is forming near PNG will slip past the tiwis and go west to WA, we can only hope.

If its rain your after:

"A weak tropical low is beginning to form in the Arafura Sea. The low is expected to slowly develop during the next few days as the monsoon trough becomes betterorganised off the north coast of the NT".

Forecast "Isolated showers and storms otherwise fine"

No really I'm sad to say grumpy the weather guru believes "it will begin pis.. sing down by early next week" must to the disgust of some I read

Come on guys the wet can't be all done "I remember the old days"
