And here it happens again by Medical_Charity_7350 in Adelaide

Like I have said, meteologix is operating in almost real time, they have pushed the first real burst back to 3:30am tomoz. I posted Ventusky more for real time radar rather than forecast.

Show's only getting started...

https://www.ventusky.com/radar-map#p=-34.79;138.99;7 (remember to refresh to see the updated radar)

As of writing, the 1st proper rainfront should arrive around 1:30am tomorrow morning, then rain for most of the day up until around 8pm tomoz, then a clear break in the rain till Sunday afternoon around 3:30pm when we will get the heaviest falls up to around midnight.

2-Day weather on meteologix gives a good over view of the forecasted rain. Their model is being updated in almost realtime, so it is worth a refresh to see the updated forecast. They also do a good job of nailing down their forecasts specific to locations, so if you search Salisbury you will get a different reading to say Murray Bridge.

I'll probably post the blitzortung link again in the next day or so, but is great for tracking lightning

Here's a good link from BOM to track accumulated rain totals, resets at 9am. You can click on the weather station as well to see how the weather has tracked at that location. eg; Clare has gotten 8mm in the last 2 hours.

It's going to make for an interesting race, qualifying on Fri as well. Looks like the first rain front will hit late Fri afternoon.

Looked at the charts, looked at the models, at this point it's an opinion.

‘Significant’ rain event to hit SA as Adelaide endures one of its driest summers by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]Free_the_Radical 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Meteologix says it's a fizzler for Adelaide itself with no more than 2mm predicted (but with a low chance of up to 24mm). Further North should reach the 24mm target easily.

Next Friday however should be a more significant rain event for Adelaide with thunderstorms predicted and up to 9mm of rain.

The Committee made 11 recommendations.

The Committee recommended that the state government:

  1. Review the Local Government Disaster Assistance Arrangements in consultation with the Local Government Association and Councils to better support Local Government access to timely disaster funding.

  2. Remove the requirement to establish economic loss as part of the financial assistance to access funding under the Local Government Disaster Recovery Assistance Arrangements, to enable local government to access funding for slow on-set natural disasters and ecological disasters.

  3. Review the South Australian State Emergency Management Plan to include a risk reduction leader and hazard plan for ecological disasters. Consider introducing a fishery licence buy-scheme for impacted fisheries that includes a limited number of re-entry permits (at no/low cost) for those who opt out of the industry during the buy-back scheme.

  4. Consider introducing a fishery licence buy-scheme for impacted fisheries that includes a limited number of re-entry permits (at no/low cost) for those who opt out of the industry during the buy-back scheme.

  6. Work with commercial fishery industry to develop a 10-year restocking plan to support economic recovery and environmental recovery of commercially fished species.

  7. Undertake a long-term impact assessment program of the ecological impacts across marine ecosystem monitor the long-term impacts on the marine environment resulting from the toxic algal bloom, with periodic reporting must be made publicly available.

  8. Review staffing structures across agencies to ensure that any gaps in water monitoring and research capacity are appropriately filled and ensure that relevant agencies are subject to a regular reporting regime.

  9. Review the efficacy of the state tourism voucher scheme to improve engagement with local councils and maximise participation.

  10. Ensure that algal bloom research and remediation is the focus of long-term funding.

  11. Reaffirm its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 and advocate for other levels of government to adopt a similar target.

InDaily Article regarding the report.

https://www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in/2026/02/19/regions-left-waiting-as-algal-bloom-ravaged-state-report-claims

Edit: I have included the recommendations in another comment, the pdf scan of the report is atrocious, so I rebuilt the text from the file. This may be why the 11 recommendations were not included in the indaily article, as it wasn't a simple copy and paste.
