Absolutely pouring down her in Castlemaine I think that the radar might be under reading.
Some of the thunder is like a real solid sharp loud crack, made me jump when i went
outside to have a look. Any chance that there might be hail in some of these storms.

There is some hope, looking at the radar some showers are going past to the west of here.
They don't look too exciting yet, but better than i had thought would happen
Chris

Woken at six by some thunder, 5-10mm here at the most expected today.
Might get lucky with a storm later, cloud moving too fast and looking too dry.
More thunder as i type,better go and have a look, and to the point of this post GO HAWKS

Getting very dark out to the west it almost looks like a storm front coming
hoping for a few mm's

Best looking sat image I've seen for a while. Looks poised to swing in on the north westerlies, in to
the northern slopes. Hoping for a storm, light rain/showers here at the moment
Chris

Looking at the radar again that yellow area further south would be
heavy soaking rain.

Good,steady rain at the moment, as i type its getting heavier. It would be nice
to see it stay for a while. Seem to be in the right place looking at the radar.
Can't remember if the gauge was emptied. not good

HI Folks just updated my location, just cold & a bit spitty (strange word but sums it up) here this morning.
Forecasting weather is a bit like footy tipping, TOO HARD, will wait and see what happens.
Chris

G'day everyone, er, sorry Geoff i'm ashamed to admit that i don't keep rainfall stats.
I forget to check the gauge and they wouldn't be correct. Very overcast here today.

Ok I'll stop lurking, 29mm so far here in Campbells Creek which is the better part of Castlemaine,
Campbells Creek has a nice flow of water going down it. Yes Geoff those showers last evening were
very wet, 22mm came from those showers.
