While it was a welcome reprieve from Bathurst's recent dry conditions, Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said there wasn't much more rain on the way.
"It looks like today [Monday] is really the last best chance," he said.
"I think any showers in the next few days are going to be very brief and light, and mostly restricted to the east of Bathurst."
Although the total for March so far is more than 30mm away from the long-term average rainfall for the month, Bathurst has received more rain this year.
Just over 200mm has fallen, while to the same point last year there had been 109.3mm recorded.
