Wagga storm warning current for the remainder of this week

Sinister clouds rolled into the city to begin the work day before fading away by about 10:30. Only to return again at lunchtime, and leave again in another two-hour window. 

Altogether, storm actively led to just 6.2mm in Wagga. 

The rest of the Riverina saw greater returns.

Young topped the charts for the South West Slopes, with the Bureau of Metereology describing the situation at the airport as “an absolute deluge”.

Up to 70mm fell in under an hour to 5:30pm, causing flooding in some areas.

Only 0.8mm had fallen in Young ahead of that point in the day.

Wednesday may prove to be the proverbial ‘calm before the storm’ though, with the real action forecasted to take place on Thursday and Friday.

While not classified as dangerous, winds of up to 30km/h are expected to hit the city on Thursday. Dropping back to 20km/h on Friday, as between 15mm and 80mm gets dumped over Wagga. 

Satellite images of the storm’s trajectory as it moves south out of Queensland are still yet to confirm whether Wagga is directly in the firing line. 

If so, the higher falls are imminent, but if not, Wagga may only see the residual overthrow of storms as they land in neighbouring regions. 

At this point, a medium chance of thunderstorms are current for both the morning and the evening on Friday.

However, Friday’s fury will give way to a sunny Saturday.

The cool change of 28-degrees is on the way, and likely to set in for the entire weekend, before he dry low 30s are again reached to begin next week.
