Around the district total falls ranged from between 85mm at Scone (Figtree Gully), Denman 60mm, Mirannie 76mm, Liddell 65mm and most recordings in the Singleton district between 50-60mm. Similar falls in Merriwa and Maitland recorded 64mm. No doubt plenty of causeways will be under water so follow the rules and don't enter floodwaters.
Looks like a wet Saturday for us with that rainfall band streaming in from the inland. So far Singleton has recorded 25mm, Scone 32mm and Maitland 29mm. Hopefully the rain eases before we see any significant rises in our river systems. So far it's 'steady' as you go across the region. Just adding some more rainfall figures wth Timor and Blandford areas receiving 50mm, Merriwa 35mm and Kar Springs 45mm.
