Re: Storms and rain Feb 25th-March 2nd.

I feel like we are in for pretty serious storm today. Sky is very unstable around the cbd with low level clouds flying around Also very humid. When that cold front comes - gonna go boom

Re: Storms and rain Feb 25th-March 2nd.

Went down to the bay to get some shots - but no lightning despite the encouraging radar :(

It was a lovely night though?

What are the chances of these cells coming in from the west holding? I might head down to the bay for a few shots.

Hi all.. any commentary on next Sunday 3rd March? A family wedding with an outdoor ceremony around Midday :) EC was looking good for no rainfall although now US/GFS has thrown up a spanner in the works. I have one job for the wedding - weatherman.

Cheers in advance!

Re: Increasing heat, humidity and storms - Nov 3 - 7

Will the storms in Tuesday afternoon be of chase quality? I just got a new camera to play with and hoping to get out (hopefully not too far from town) and test it out!

Re: Weather Posters / Wall Art

Thanks Meso - some great options in there! Ended up going for this though: http://www.seanrheavey.com/storm/h319E3C27#h2d5b2812" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I fell in love after I saw it in National Geo a while back and managed to track it down. I really want this one too...

Weather Posters / Wall Art

Hi all,

I have been looking (with not much luck) for a good website/store where I can order Posters/Canvas of Supercells/Tornados/Extreme Weather etc?

I would like to have it as a wall feature in my living room.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

This afternoon.. Is it worth a chase today or should I not bother? Don't really wanna go too far out of Melbourne! If it's a good chance today - any recommendations?

Pretty certain a Severe microburst hit the area as spread over large area and big trees down. Airport advising many customers to go home and is pandemonium ...

Re: Victoria: Trough/Front - Storms and rain - 17th -19th No

I can vouch for the 'mini' cyclone in camberwell. Heaps of trees and big branches down on the roads around glen iris. It could almost be described as a 'mini' microburst:)

Re: VIC Fronts with rain & storms then showers: 26/9/-01/10

The word going around My work (NAB) is that lightning did hit the building and shattered some windows which led to evacuation. Not sure how many or how serious but people let back to work 30mins later

Looking out West from docklands over the bay (can see spirit in the distance. Excuse quality - I now know that zoom on the iphone should be avoided

Interesting scuds keep forming over the bay, but just shifted out of view - so not sure if still occuring - can anyone see out to the bay?

Re: Victoria: Rain/storm event - 6th-10th December 2010 (Obs

what are the chances of some storms in melbourne today. Whilst I'd love a chase - I need to pay the bills and am stuck at a desk!

Last 2 days have been disappointing - a promising but teasing radar - and then nothing :x
