and during the afternoon. The main feature was isolated and well scattered
heavy falls of 25 to 50mm. During the late morning, a line of storms and
heavy showers extended from the central Riverina well out to sea

that developed in the area north of Goulburn moved east. Heavy falls were
reported in the Sydney and Wollongong metropolitan areas (see
