Only had around 10mm for the event dates but enough to keep the grass greenish for a little while but need a bit more soon, 1 rumble of thunder this season is real bad. Hope everyone got out from the storms damage free, they look good coming towards you but don't look so good being on the back end o...

9mm here overnight, bang on what OCF was forecasting and might get another 10mm over the coming days which will make it a handy fall, anything to keep that grass greener for longer the better.

Someone has certainly turned the tap off, actually had the sprinklers on the back lawn the other day, nothing substantial is going to come from the sky soon by the looks and with these winds the ground is drying out quick around here. Can't believe just over a month ago we were worrying about floodi...

Gosh, hardly more than a strong breeze here, got a little gusty around lunchtime but nothing much. Don't know whether it's still coming this way or it's been, front still out west by the looks.

Rhino.

30mm here overnight, some places along the creek have been sandbagged as a precaution but the creek is dropping now so won't be an issue. Thats one impressive list of vic flood warnings.

Rhino.

Had a grand total of 1mm today, just showery, windy cold yuck weather. Can't believe it's going to be 21C here sunday, will feel like 30C after today. Waiting for sun-mon system now, hoping for the first storm of the season here.

Rhino.

15mm here overnight, winds were very gusty through the night but nothing major, might squeeze out 10mm today so will be a good drop without causing many problems. Might get a storm a some stage but all in all nothing to get excited about here.

Latest SWW out, rainfall been downgraded slightly, winds still very strong.... SEVERE WEATHER WARNING for DAMAGING WINDS and HEAVY RAINFALL For people in the Central, Mallee, South West, Northern Country, North Central, North East and Wimmera Forecast Districts. Issued at 10:52 pm Wednesday, 28 Sept...

Thats a great looking low now, like watching water draining out of a sink on the loop.

Rhino.

Don't know about the rain but the wind is getting pretty nasty now, constantly strong with stronger gusts and will only get worse. Whatever rain we get by morning will probably double it, only half will reach the gauge I'd say. More showers than rain here at this stage, sounds a lot heavier than it ...

G'day Chris, yeah looking good some solid falls overnight into tomorrow morning, not sure about the 80mm falls though. Perhaps the BOM have a direct line to huey upstairs but no model I'm looking at is showing those totals, general consensus for around our area would still be 30-40mm general and 50m...

That is one seriously good looking line of storms on the SA radar, goes from around Mt Gambier up to nearly Innamincka, just about to cross our western border. Might be a very nice lightshow later.

Rhino.

Yeah looking at that to Strato, OCF, EC and ACCESS R looking at around 30mm now, so I might take a wild guess and say I predict around 30mm . Storms being the variable that may increase those totals though.

Rhino.

Mightn't get much sleep tonight if we end up getting half of what SA is getting now, should be a good lightshow.

Rhino.

Holy bazookas, 140kmh gusts, I don't want storms if thats what in them .

Rhino.

Looking more at the 30-40mm mark here now, might push 50mm, but OCF and EC now forecasting around 30mm wed-thur. EC dropped from 45mm on last nights run so a decent downgrade. But with storms forecast who knows. Winds look real nasty though, 100-110kmh gusts .

Rhino.

Still expecting 40-50mm here from wed night until friday, but anything can happen in these setups, wait and see scenario. As ILS mentioned nth east vic is primed for some major damage IF it develops how it could, some of the rivers up that way are in flood or close to and running strongly. Rhino. :)...

Latest ACCESS R doesn't look good for the nth east later thursday, will be big issues up that way if it comes off. EC still looking at around 40mm here wed-fri and OCF still looking around the 40mm mark. Hopefully we miss the strongest of the winds in vic.

Rhino.

EC now has 30mm here wed/thur, OCF still ultra consistent with around 40mm and has been forecasting around that amount for 3 days now so happy with that, OCF did a great job when we got 70-80mm in the area 2 weeks ago and was consistently forecasting 60-70mm a couple of days before the event so knew...

Still looking good for 30-50mm generally, cape otway looks real wet, WATL onto it this morning as well.
