Monitoring soil moisture this winter cropping season

A glance at the root zone moisture from the BOMs water balance model (24hr rain not updated yet) shows soil moisture improving through SE areas that were very dry. The other main feature is the dryness in central and eastern Qld that never really got a dose of La Nina. If the BOMs latest June forecast is on, then this could look completely different in a fortnight.
