WEATHER: LATEST ON THE UPCOMING EAST COAST LOW

We are going to witness the collision of the two big air masses that produces the infamous, dangerous weather systems for eastern Australia.

An upper level cold pool is set make its way across inland Australia, producing heavy rain for North West NSW. At this point, the heaviest rain is set to fall west of Kaputar, but be aware this forecast may change and the band could drift further east.

Along the coast, a trough is deepening, drawing massive amounts of moisture off a very warm East Australian Current. Sea surface temperatures are above average due to the recent El Nino. This is helping to fuel the developing system.

It is expected that the two air masses will collide Friday into Saturday, with heavy rain, potentially flooding rain, to fall on the Gold Coast and south east QLD, before spilling across the border into the Northern Rivers.

The low is expected to then track south along the NSW coast, increasing wind speeds, seas and swell, while dumping heavy rain all the way south to the Victorian border.

Localised flash flooding and broad scale river flooding will be possible. It is advised to make preparations for this upcoming weather event.

Take care.

  1. The 2 big “engineered air masses”… yep been watching the spraying overhead. Anyone who takes the time to look up, watch the man made trails in the sky and research these weather modification programs is seeing our natural weather cycles completely manipulated. Sadly, it’s one big planetary experiment right? Climate engineering-not for the faint hearted

  2. So many still unaware that our weather manipulated. It is no secret just do your own research and join the informed instead of living in ignorance.
