Round 1 a non event here

Still plenty to go tonight, can see heaps og lightning out past Ballarat still, plus amazing light show to the east

With these kind of setups, if the sun comes out as it is in bendigo,with enough time for heating, will we see extreme tops on some storms resulting in hail? or becuase of the humidity and warmth, hail would be out of the question? I woulda thought the uppers would be too warm Rik, any convection mi...

Scored 40+mm here including yesterday evening's storm. It seems the rain is quite localised. If you're lucky enough to get under a heavy patch, as we have been, the total shoots up fast.

Saw your post and went to check it out, insane! faster than once a second!

Most of the greater Melb area whiffed that lot, but about sunset that line well out to the west could be cracking us

Cell weakened a bit as it hit, very photogenic tho, plenty of strikes... no hail but an intense rain rate

Super thick fog here this morning. On an aside, the water table here must amazingly jigh, a short sharp shower will flood everything at the moment. Dont remember seeing the usually dry outer western suburbs like this.

22mm in 45 mins, rain held its integrity beautifully coming across the northern suburbs. Just an awesome (wet) few months!

Was the 299 worth missing out on all the good stuff mate?

naaaaah!

Drizzly rain increaing...hasnt stopped at all today. 90mm for the system, huge fall out this way. Last fall of this magnitude was a feral low we had in feb one year, cant remember which. 2005?

Got thunder all around here already in Melton, lovely rainshafts. Cg spotted to the NNW

Rain just stopped for the first time in 2 hours, 31mm...nice.

18mm in about 25 mins here, slowed down to a steady downpour, good claps of thunder too from cgs i cant see from here.

caning down here, constant thunder, beautiful thundery rain

22mm in Melton with a period of clearance coming, Hopefully thunderstorm developement friendly.

Hey Rikki you know we are going to get pounded, because you have emerson this weekend
