BoM senior meteorologist Brett Gage said the majority of the rain came from the south-west on Tuesday morning, while another cold front was expected to move through the state today.
"The showers will ease and contract to southern coasts by Sunday," he said.
"We expect a further 2-5mm over central and eastern parts of the southern agricultural area, with local falls of 5-10mm around the Mount Lofty Ranges and lower South East coasts, but less than 2mm is expected over the remainder of the agricultural area and the West Coast district."
Monday through to Wednesday next week was expected to be dry, he said.
