Any ideas for the timing of the cool change for central areas? Going to be a worrying day for some.

A fair few chemtrails visible from here. Coincidence with the forecast heat?
Also anyone notice the forecast for next Friday? 5 to 25mm rain. Showers and storms.
I truly hope you're not inferring some ridiculous conspiracy and instead meant to say 'contrail'..
Anyway, beaut day, and feels quite humid. Not looking forward to tomorrow, though. I like the heat, but that's too hot (or just perfect for the beach lol)
Access R run 00z is now projecting the dry wind change squall line to launch 90 to 100 km/h gusts in the mid afternoon in the western districts.
My 2 cents worth on the BoM's 5 to 25mm forecast for next Friday. That is BoM code for 'The models are very jumpy'. There is a possible cyclone off W.A and maybe the monsoon trough paying a visit to Oz again, so it's upgrade and downgrade central at the moment.

EC got it just after 6pm through metro Melbourne. Looks like it will hit the surf coast about 4pm. Thinking it will become visible on the Doppler sometime between 3:30 and 4:30pm. These can be really tricky as the front will race along the coast then be slower inland.
Some very hot temperatures tomorrow, with latest models tending to increase the wind speeds again slightly, so tomorrow's GFDR and FFDR likely to be altered again in the morning with the next update. Even with the minor amendments, the extreme rating looks like the best category for tomorrow across the districts mentioned. Either way, it's going to be a stinker of a day with temperatures widespread above 40 degrees. Even if the change is delayed by up to an hour, Melbourne's temp tomorrow is likely to nudge past 42 in my opinion. As others have mentioned, will be interesting to see the usual hot spots like Avalon and Geelong. Keep nice and cool if you can and stay hydrated is my advice!

22C here currently with a DP of 11C. Can see fog in the valley below. Winds at ground level are calm, while at tree tops looks to be about 10 knots. Only 11 hours to the front.
Winds stay east of north here until early arvo, then the blast furnace hits. Further west this happens earlier
Unfortunately, the showers for Sunday into Monday are looking sparse on the lattes batch of progs,

Chemtrails? Dimmer skies are safer skies. ICA
