Re: A cool showery end to winter

Talk about dry - over last three months this end of Vic has been lacking decent rain, eg Totals SALE/55MM, BAIRNSDALE 62MM & ORBOST 42MM. Surprisingly, as I speak it's pelting down on the tin roof and sounds great, 1MM for to 0900 and be lucky to get 5MM today. Glad I don't have livestock these ...

Re: Warm week with troughs, showers, storms Nov 7 - 13th

About 40km N of Sale, Mt Moornapa has had 25mm+ in about an hour from a thundery cell, water would be rolling down the hillsides madly from that.
In the mean time no wind and clear sky in Sale, next Sunday though....10 - 20mm @ 95% from BOM.

Re: Troughs with showers/ storms 11 Jan - ?

Looks to me like it's lining Sale up for a direct hit now! But it didn't LOL, a glancing blow as the bulk veered S/E to the right and exited over the 90 Mile Beach, and some also went to to the N/E and we missed out, East Sale BOM 0.4mm today and home about 3mm. Thousands of CG today over East Vic,...

Re: Troughs with showers/ storms 11 Jan - ?

Basically nothing in Sale while Mt Moornapa 40km N rec'd 32mm in about 40 minutes from a storm full of CG
and noise as it headed S/E over a few hours.
The trajectory of the next line/stormy front approaching from the W also has a good chance of another clean miss of Sale,
see how it goes. :D

There will be a better official name for the formation of a low over Vic under the circumstances evident in the latest CMC run I'm sure. Only I haven't come across one that I can recall. Further north BOM just calls it a "heat low" Petros ie - "A heat low and associated trough lie ac...
