Andrew 1 - Bureau 0
Weather Stuff:
Well, the thunderstorm activity last night was quite spectacular. My storm spotter instincts proved right this time. My commiserations to the guys at the Bureau, I don’t think calling the possibility of storms after the fact quite cuts it :-)
I made the call around lunchtime yesterday – I guess you don’t always need super computers! But I guess I shouldn’t be too cocky…
Fish Stuff:
The Bureau is forecasting heavy falls for both Saturday and Sunday. There is a flood watch advice as follows: “Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Tasmania FLOOD WATCH ADVICE Issued at 5:11am on Friday the 9th of September 2005
A Flood Watch continues for all northern and Central Highland river basins.
Statement:Rain has commenced across much of the northern half of the state, with isolated thunderstorms about the north coast and central north. Locally heavy rainfall is expected by early Saturday morning. With many catchments across the north having experienced significant totals last week, strong river rises are expected in many rivers and streams, with possible flooding to develop by the early part of the weekend. Weather Outlook:Rain periods, with isolated thunderstorms”.
This rain may result in some good river rises this weekend, possibly making for some good fishing – it’s a shame I’ll be flat out this weekend and may not get the chance to head out. But you never know….
END.

I expect you to fix the weather for sunday... you can do that right?.. just have a word to the big man upstairs? I don't want to be moving house in a canoe and dodging lightning...
Don't worry mate.
If the rivers flood I'll catch some for you.
