Metservice now forecasts rain for Palmy tomorrow, but easing in the afternoon; let's hope it passes through quickly, and that Bruce and Puk don't push the "cancel" button too soon ... Bruce and Puk have arranged for the rain to pass through tomorrow morning, giving the track a well-measured pre-watering - not easy for them to organise you know. |

Hahha - this is a good one. Palmy promoters are many things, but you can never accuse them of pulling the pin turn early. On the contrary, have been there many times when the meeting is doomed, and they have still managed to run 3 races before pulling the pin! Which is always appreciated - they get a lot of visitors and give the meeting every single chance to happen. |

I'm wondering what effect Cyclone Yasi may have on conditions down there - there is a nice steady high in the Tasman but there is the chance that it could get drawn out a bit as Yasi departs Qld, which may result in some uglier stuff being dragged up the country.
Friday is probably a 30-40% chance of rain, Saturday should be a lot better. Although now a cat 1 reducing to tropical storm as it approaches NT, Yasi still has a fairly large tail which may disrupt any benefits of stable weather in the central Tasman.

We've had some heavy rain where we are in palmy mate, it might not be so bad where you are, but as you say it's supposed to clear for tonight so should be all good. Lets hope it's gone for scrutineering at 1pm as well!

there is another thread covering friday's weather . Might be less confusing if we use that now and then start another for Saturday.
