Just started raining here, I didn't think it would make it here today!

Not really storm chasers but they put up some good posts.

Checkout the BNE radar
“Carnage”
If possible it would be appreciated if someone could recommend a reliable storm chasers link...cheers

Gauge is saying 17. 5 here, pretty sure it was empty will check with others.
Access G has a big low for Monday week, should be a better rain producer for the west of the
state as it is starting back over WA, not that it is needed.
And assuming it stays in the progs.

Hasn't happened yet, heaviest rain is meant to be overnight,
the low is up at Pt Augusta depends where it goes, but it doesn't
really look like the whole system is getting its act together.

EC is not interested for much here, up to 5 today up to 10 tomorrow.
Pushing it more into NSW
Edit, access g looks a bit better but still iffy, cross your fingers territory.

BOM is saying 9 to 25 for Fri/Sat for me, looking at the models probably seems to be fair.
A bit of a variation or storm could see double that, but looks like
the more north or east, the more rain.

EC not so keen, but still early on, as usual lately
will just have to wait and see what falls out of the sky.

6 mm here so far, looks to be about it if the low can't crank it up more.

Looks to be a bit iffy for the next few days
going to need a bit of luck.

Currently looking at around a possible 15-25mm this coming weekend. We had some stream rises in local rivers last week. i.e. Lake Eppalock has gone from 42 to just under 46%. There is a swamp between Maldon and Laanecoorie (Bell's Swamp) which I often use as an indicator of whether we have had a we...

Got lucky under a heavy shower for a while ended up with 18 mm so far.
Strange shower heavy, but light drops, or maybe I'm just getting deafer!
Edit I see 56 at Warrnambool well outside the warning area, the way it goes.

At the rate this is going, going to be lucky to get bugger all!
Yet EC still wants to give 30 to 40 Hmmm

Its trying very hard to get going here, very overcast and light rain falling.

Radar is vastly overestimating rainfall totals. I smell a fizzer...

Bit early Strato not meant to rain much here until dark.

Big downgrade on BOM this morning. Maybe just 15-20mm, not the 30+mm I thought we might get.

Main cloud band and low appear to be splitting, but rain is meant to fill back in over night
but more to the south, still hoping 20 to 30

Yes models scaling back a bit, but still hopeful of 25 to 30 here.

13mm here. Good to see a spread of decent to half-decent falls.

Hopefully any of those who came in on the low side a bit to the north, will more than catch up with round 2.

Yes hopefully Gordon after 3 mm with round 1,
Bom is saying 30 to 60 for the 2 days.

Rain has stopped. We got 2mm.

Mid-week has all the ingredients for something big.

EC has a total of about 70 here and bom access going for about 40 to 50.
Will be very interesting to see it evolve from now.

Raining here looks to be a few good showers on the radar
