With all the hype around the amount of rain which has fallen across the State during the past two days Forster-Tuncurry received a scant three millimetres.
The droplets which fell on Sunday afternoon quickly evaporated, not even registering in the official weather gauge, collated by Marine Rescue.
However the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has predicted a medium chance of showers later this afternoon and evening and the chance of a thunderstorm - possibly severe.
But, a quick glance at the BOM radar shows clear skies.
Forster-Tuncurry have already reached today's predicted 24 degree top.
Taree was only marginally better off, receiving just four millimetre earlier today.
While once again Forster-Tuncurry missed out on any decent fall, that wasn't the case for parts of drought ravaged western NSW, which received the best rain in more than six months.
According to weatherzone, the widespread rain and thunderstorms was a result of a low pressure trough combined with a mass of moisture-laden air.
The 95mm recorded at Bourke Airport during the 48 hours to 9am this morning, was their best two-day total since 2012.
Further west, White Cliffs received 27mm during the 24 hours to 9am on Monday, the town's highest daily total in two years.
The best rain for many parts of western NSW fell during the 24 hours to 9am.
Walgett's 50mm in this time was their heaviest fall in one and a half years, while Coonamble (44mm), Cobar (24mm), Wilcannia (26mm), Cowra (15mm), Scone (24mm) and Dubbo (13mm) all had their best daily rain in 6-8 months.
However, while the rain was welcomed, it was by no means drought-breaking.
Further south, Sydney-siders should be happy with 15mm falling on Sunday and 16mm in Newcastle.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue to affect parts of NSW on Monday and Tuesday as an upper-level trough passes over southeastern Australia.
However, falls from this system won't be as heavy or widespread as the weekend's rain.
