Well developed cold fronts are still scheduled to reach CT on Mon 23rd and Wed 25th. Beyond that is still a guessing game.

The long weekend does not look as dry as I thought, and during the entire 5 day period there is likely to be at least one rainy day (not able to be more specific).

One rainy day is better than 0 rainy day
 
An impressive front, the one arriving sometime Monday, that is ....
Get the storm clothes ready, you guys are going to swim for a few hours.

Is this anything like the mother of all storms which ended up being barely anything...?

No, these fronts are for real! The exact amounts of rain on Mon 23rd will depend on location, but could reach 20-30mm in places, and as high as 75-100mm over the mountains.

This will be a fast moving cold-front, with heavy rain for a few hours. Likely to be blocked drains, localised flooding on roads, etc.
 
BREAKING: HEAVY RAIN & FLOOD WARNING in effect for the drought-hit CAPE TOWN metro & surrounding mountainous catchment areas Monday into Tuesday due to incoming cold front.

Sigh... And with the bus strike, its not going to be pretty at all.
 
Has the front pushed down past the coast with only the outer edge just barely grazing over us..?
 
There goes the traffic on your way home....

Strong wind = fallen trees. Autumn leaves = blocked drains. Heavy rain + recent fires = mudslides and rockfalls...

Its already drizzling in Kenilworth, but the real rain will only be after lunchtime.

P.S. Several (but not all) models are predicting heavy rain and cold (with possible snow) on Sun 29th. Just a heads up for anyone going camping over the long weekend, keep an eye on the long-term outlook!
