Vic: Long warm/hot spell, unsettled end - December 24-31 2016

What an amazing day. To even think about those rainfall rates of 400mm/ph is unbelievable. Some of the dew points were unbelievable as well. We are probably lucky there wasn't a bigger trigger or the storms would have been destructive

Storm lining up Melbourne from nw. Back building as well. May be merit in bom reissuing stw. No way that cell doesn't contain very heavy rain

Yep, that one is also around me..... interesting on how they will react in the northern suburbs

Just check the sounding from this morning. Precipitable water was 49mm. That's 5mm above the old record (or about 10%). Guess that is what happens when you set up a freakish weather system tapping moisture from record warm oceans Thinking that we are lucky in Melbourne that we missed that ex-TC otherwise today would have been way worse..

More storms in bound. Need 28mm to crack the ton...

Are those storms likely to make it here, as in metro melbourne?

Looks like it's decaying as it hits the city's doorstep

yes shame there is no night time lightning...havent had that in a long time!

Would love to be woken by crashing rain in the early hours of the morning. A follow up would soak deeply and really help us out for the months ahead, which I think are going to be HOT HOT HOT.

Cape and heat is not as good as this afternoon for Melb but round 3 (small round) is going up here. I'm keeping a eye on the sat pic IR for anything new that might fire up and head down to Melbourne.

Yeh it's going off to a degree. Little cells popping up everywhere. Would be nice to be surprised. It's hapoened before in more unexpected situations

[BERVY]

Totally missed any action up here in Wodonga. Feeling quite ripped off really.

Round 3 is bubbling..... just got another 10mm here, it's starting to head south east from here.

[I_Love_Storms]

Pouring here

That cell heading into the northern burbs gave me 10mm....keep an eye on it...might get an urban kick out of it

Lightning to the N, cloud to cloud (maybe) and pulses...

What type are these cells? Pulse cells? Multis?

This was a good day. Nice way to finish today and 2016 is almost done...

Today was definitely a cluster, don't think a super...
