Rain in Western Australia has exceeded forecasts, with more than 30 millimetres falling across much of the central wheatbelt, and the lower Great Southern region on track to get more than 25mm from the front.  Forecasts remain unchanged for eastern states, with little chance of rain across northern New South Wales and southern Queensland, particularly into the Darling Downs.
