meh, it'll be like every other 'storm warning' we get.

Except that huge hail storm, where there wasn't much warning.

BoM is the modern boy who cried wolf, always forecasting the worst to cover their arses.

no.

[Rat750]

Had about 10 drops out near the airport.

[Desmo]

Radar says CBD is getting smashed...

no.

The thing with the weather radar is they only catch the top level stuff, what's actually in the cloud.
It has no indication of precipitation whatsoever.

The thing with the weather radar is they only catch the top level stuff, what's actually in the cloud.
It has no indication of precipitation whatsoever.

so what is it measuring? the density of the cloud?

[Crobbo]

Someone might correct me but from what a know it gets reflections from stuff in the clouds (water), that doesn't mean it's actually falling though.
