Deciding whether to go to Riviersonderend this weekend. Anyone feel like chiming in on the odds of a very wet weekend?

Some rain overnight tomorrow and then 1-2mm for Saturday. Clear after that.

It's not going to be a huge rain event. Some localised showers near the SW-Cape coast, with orographic rain over the mountains. Mid-morning on Fri 7th, but lingering cool and cloudy for most of the weekend.

The front that passed over Cape Town yesterday (Fri 7th) has left lingering cloudy and cool conditions, but also brought some rain to coastal parts of the southern and Eastern Cape today and tomorrow (Sat 8th and Sun 9th), as well as showers over parts of the central interior of South Africa.

Another cold-front is likely to brush the SW-Cape on Mon 10th, bringing further wet and cold conditions. This chart shows the expected outlook for the next 3 days:

So pretty much no impact for the Cape Town metropol. All moving south.

Leka moist in Epping/Goodwood

A pair of weak cold-fronts will brush the SW-Cape this morning and later today (Thurs 13th). It will remain cloudy and cool tomorrow (Fri 14th), but improve significantly over the weekend, and persist into next week.

 

[Gordon_R]

Various long-range models and forecasts indicate a strong cold-front reaching the SW-Cape on Thurs 20th. The exact details are still uncertain, but this event has the potential to produce heavy rain (25-50mm) in places:
