Anyone seen the Doppler radar, seems to be something happening near Ballen.

Plenty of rain out there, unfortunately it is just all falling into the bay.

Certainly was looking good as I drove back from Moe, built up very fast.

Warragul just got slammed, 40mm since 5pm.

Plenty of rain here at work and at home, band is quite narrow though. As for snow in Hobart, more energy (heat) in a system will increase volatility. Climate change is settled science.
Now, anyone want to talk about the wet weekend coming up?

Made it to 10mm here in the rain shadow north of the mountain. Expecting this next shower to fade away before it gets here. Ground is wet, tanks are full, don’t need anymore rain.

Raining here, only light but steady. Ready to hear all the ‘global warming must be fake cos it is cold’ stories at work now. Lawn here is still soggy from last time, planting violets in the wet areas this year. Been good rain since I installed tanks almost 2 years ago. Off to Moe now, stay warm peop...

Right through the gap. Barely a drop here.

Looks like there was a decent downpour between Mt Mercer and Cressey according to the 1 hour radar.

Steady rumbles in the distance here in Mt Evelyn. Looks like the worst of it will go to our south.

Rainbow radar is living up to its name. Plenty of colours in there.

Radar has cleared and it is looking like a dry start to the day. Hoping these winds are not as bad as predicted, got some leaking pipes near home (thanks YVW) and some wet feet for the big gums. What time are we expecting the heavy rain, afternoon or night?

Been steady rain wherever I have been today from Phillip Island to Broadmeadows to Lilydale. Fun day to be driving a truck. Keilor seems to be topping out at 454mm with 198mm in the last hour. Might be a slight issue with that reading I think.

Thunder here in Mount Evelyn. Looks like the year will start with a bang.

Change coming across the bay now, any chance of decent storms?
(Edit) we got plenty of wind and about 17 single raindrops but no thunder here in Mount Evelyn.

Nice bit of rain here filling the tanks ok. Gave the veggie garden a good water yesterday so all this is a bonus. Still got spiders in the AWS so reading 0mm again.

Well it looks like rain, it feels like rain too but me AWS tells me we have had 0.3mm of rain. Oh, and a spider is living in my rain gauge. May have to get a manual gauge I think.

Looks like there is some more rain inbound, question is, will it get over the ranges?

Our street in Mount Evelyn still had houses without power last night, took until monday night for the gum tree blocking the road to get moved. Most of the trees down were from having wet feet and the soil giving way. Waiting to see what happens with the rest of this period, garden drying out on top ...

Rain forecast for tomorrow has backed off a bit, only 15mm due here now.
