Adelaide first to feel the brunt of the front sweeping the South East
Max Gonzalez, Thursday June 23, 2016 - 15:17 AEST
Australia's City of Churches has been feeling the battering of a vigorous cold front today, the same cold front that will be delivering a winter wonderland along the Great Dividing Range over the coming 24-to-48 hours.
Earlier today, fresh northwesterly winds ahead of the front delivered a few showers, mainly over the Adelaide Hills. The city itself picked up just over 2mm to 9am this morning.
Since then, a line of heavy rain marched over Adelaide with the front bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Since 9am this morning, 11mm fell in the city with 12mm registered at Parawa West. Additionally, 14mm has fallen at Kuitpo and 16mm over Mt Lofty. Areas of flash flooding have been recorded across the city and the Hills.
Fresh-to-strong winds gusted to 67km/h at the airport and Noriootpa, 63km/h at Noarlunga, 61km/h at Mount Lofty and 72km/h at Mount Crawford. By far, the strongest gust in the region was registered at Strathalbyn at 95km/h.
Cloud, rain and strong winds are bringing the visibility to just a few hundred metres, mainly over the Adelaide Hills.
Temperature-wise, Adelaide achieved a high of 12.6 degrees just after 10:30am but has been cooling down since.
Winds have now turned westerly and will tend to southwesterly for the remainder of today and overnight. These strong winds will continue to ease overnight but remain fresh tomorrow, driving showers across the city and the hills.
Finally, a high pressure system will move over overnight into Saturday clearing skies and bringing light winds. However, temperatures will be bitter, with daytime temperatures struggling to reach the mid-teens and night time temperatures close to freezing.
