7mm here in Bayside. Quite a long period of light rain last night followed by another early hours of the morning. Wet few days coming up for many especially NE.

23 mm event so far

Yes feeling like a spring type event. We have 40mm forecast here Monday/Tuesday to close out the month. MTD here is 95mm and it saturated.

Radar looking more intensive than the rain actually falling over Melbourne presently though it is moderately heavy. Looks like bright banding occurring on the radar given the coldness of the atmosphere.

Deep dark bases will this initial line Bayside way and a couple of thunder claps with their arrival.

Looking like a very cold burst arriving late Monday with the coldest air arriving Tuesday and snow levels dipping to 500m for a time. With decent moisture involved, the alps could see the best powder since early June by Wednesday. Flooding in the NE could be an issue with 20-30 mm falls around the p...

Flood watch just issued for our area and many others. These sporadic falls will add up next few days. E and NE are so wet rivers could swell quickly. Moderate rain here Bayside presently. There was a bit of a shelf looking west earlier and it's been so dark today. Also observed mammatus over Melbou...

Lots of videos of hail in those storms in the northern suburbs. Looks mostly pea to small marble size. Cell near Viewbank gone black :o Nasty looking cell and about to hit Melb airport. Nothing up here yet but very nice looking skies in all directions. This Mt Buller looking east around noon today....

Yeah more models interested in a bigger event next week but again doesn't look cold so marginal for snow and with current focus in the NE, could be a season ender, or extender if cold enough.

Nice shots HB.Must be a dream having frequent snow events for you this winter down there. In Mansfield we have around 30mm since the 1st and ground is very wet. Gullies are flowing, dams overflowing. If we get what models are proging this week we'll be into flooding territory for several rivers near...

Two below for FTG is unusual form sure Shel. Wet up here in the NE after frequent shower bursts this week with close to 30mm total. Expecting -3c by morning. As Strath said models liking rain Tuesday - Sat next week across Vic with NE focus from NW band and fronts. Lake Eildon at 83%. Tipping it wil...

Good to see a couple of decent consequtive falls around. We had about 15mm with Sat night and today combined bayside.

Band approaching looks ok if it doesn't break in half. No sign of a possible storm.

Nice storm outbreak currently in the NE would bode well for thunder snow. Falls and Hotham should report large snow accumulations by morning I'd suspect with reported rain totals 50-60mm range in that region so far today. Wouldn't be surprised if the Hotham - Harrietville road was closed for a time ...

Some models now predicting over a metre of snow from this system for some of the resorts, on top of what has fallen already :o . Media hype this week about the "best opening in 50 plus years". The 2000 season opened with a metre on the ground at many resorts. I guess if the snow goes low ...

Yes gas is on the nose. Melb sitting in a nice spot for the SW showers that keep streaming in, heavy at times. Airmass has warmed a bit but still icy.

Wow at the snowfall in the alps which looks to double for this time next week.

Hi All Here in Wanniassa, Southern Canberra, I recorded 16mm overnight, taking the May total to 102mm, another well above average month, May usually is the driest month of the year here, Tuggeranong just down the road averages 26.6mm in May. Another 20mm or so expected on Monday. Backyard is waterl...

We've only got to 8.4 degC so far today. We could end up with today being our coldest May day since the infamous 7.5 degC on 27th May 2000... Have been thinking about the similarities between this event and the late May 2000. That system made up of multiple lows at very low pressure and dumped a fo...

Cold already biting today. Temp hasn't moved passed 9c and now dropping again. Looking like the wet and cold week will extend into next weekend with further fronts. Snow accumulations in the alps by this time next week could hit 30-50cm making for a good opening weekend although seems to be a slight...

5mm here in Mansfield yesterday and thinking 30mm + here from Sunday through the week. Snow level forecasts to 900m from Tuesday and maybe decent accumulations in the alps. Looking forward to a punchy cold outbreak.

Good to be back. Spread the word!

@skywalker yes not much going on in the other place. Glad you made it back.
