The reluctance of the high stationery in the southern Coral Sea to drift eastward brought hot north-westerly winds to the Ranges and a state of extreme fire danger. The stable atmosphere that persisted for most of September showed little likelihood of breaking up until 9.30pm on Saturday. This was when winds backed to south-east, bringing in moist maritime clouds and the splatter of a few rain drops, possibly from some virga that reached the ground before evaporating.
