20.01.2022 HEAVY RAIN, FLOOD RISK - #Hunter, #NorthWest, #CentralTablelands, #CentralWest, #UpperWestern, #NorthernTablelands, #MidNorthCoast A slow moving trough ov...er northern NSW will interact with increasing tropical humidity to bring widespread rain to northern parts of the state during Monday. A transient low pressure system may develop within this trough on Tuesday, but the system will weaken and move away to the east by Tuesday evening. HEAVY RAINFALL, which may lead to flash flooding and riverine flooding is expected to develop in the western districts from Monday morning before spreading east by Monday afternoon and evening. Embedded thunderstorms may locally enhance rainfall rates, leading to intense rainfall and potentially life-threatening flash flooding. River rises are likely, and a Flood Watch is current for several river catchments. For more information see www.bom.gov.au/nsw/warnings. Conditions are currently expected to ease by Tuesday evening. Locations which may be affected include #Tamworth, #Gunnedah, #Narrabri, #Walgett, #LightningRidge, #Scone, #Coonabarabran #Armidale and #Maitland.

15.01.2022 At 1507hrs Monday, Pumper 314 was called to a 2 car motor vehicle accident on the corner of Bloomfield Street and Chandos Street, Gunnedah. Fortunately, no persons were trapped or injured. The 314 crew arranged for Gunnedah Shire Council to remove the vehicle from the road way so that the road could be reopened to traffic. The crew then cleared the road of debris and fluid, thus rendering the roadway safe.

12.01.2022 FIRE CALL Machinery Fire 16:41hrs Yesterday afternoon Pump 506 & Composite 399 from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 399 Narrabri were assigned to reports of a... machinery fire at the grain silos in Wee Waa. When crews arrived smoke was found issuing from the very top of the silos in the elevator compartment. Another crew from 399 narrabri we also requested to have the Hazmat Van attend for any hazardous materials. Crews rotated through the incident climbing to the top and extinguishing the fire. Due to the heat, 28 flights of stairs, 2 further sets of ladders and fire fighter fatigue management the NSW Ambulance also attended to keep observations on firefighters. Shortly after another crew from narrabri in Pump 399 attended to help with the rotation of firefighters. Relay pumping was conducted from one appliance to another so pressure could be reached to the top of the silos. After 8 hours, 18 Firefighters and our Duty Commander from Tamworth we’re able to declare the fire was out and safe to hand over back to the site workers crews dismissed at 10:30pm See more

03.01.2022 **ALL MODELS ARE STARTING TO LINE UP 50-100MM** **ISOLATED FALL UNDER STORMS 100-150MM** **HEAVY RAIN EXSPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT & MONDAY** **FLASH FLOODING & RIVE...R FLOODING POSSIBLE** **SEVERE WEATHER WARNING ISSUED** **EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE** **POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODING** **ADVOID USING ROADS WITH LOW LYING CREEKS** **MOVE LIVE STOCK TO HIGHER GROUND** Looking at the last run in models all models are pointing at heavy rain to develop late on Sunday night & continue into Monday, with intense rainfall likely across the NW Slopes & Plains, Western parts of the Tablelands & Upper Hunter districts. I have added 3 models ECMWF (1), ACCESS-G (2), GFS (3) & OCF 24hr totals for Monday (4). A trough already positioned over the Slopes will interact with a Upper Level System that will draw in tropical moisture from NW Australia where the Monsoon is present. The BoM has a flood watch current for the Peel, & Namoi with possible minor to moderate flooding. The Gwydir minor flooding & Upper Hunter rivers minor flooding. Please note flood watches are not warnings, just heads up with the amount of rain that is expected riverine flooding is possible, a separate warning will be issued once flooding occurs. Keep an eye on the page for updates & warnings, & remember never drive through flood roads. ~Dave.
