VICTORIA: Potential Autumn Break - March 23-26 2018

[Didjman]

Did anyone see the awesome roll cloud over Melbourne? I got some good shots which I will post.

[snowfall]

Such a relief to hear rain on the roof. Rain is getting heavy here, along with thunder.

[Meltondust]

Steady rain here in Kurunjang over the last 20 mins, with some heavy bursts. Thunder every minute or so and dead calm.

[Amandagorural]

Just under 9mm for the past hour at St Leonards, on the Bellarine.
The backyard is dust and the tanks were empty. Look forward to some green

[Onetahuti]

Apart from the initial rain band the radar both Melbourne and Mount Gambier look devoid of any following worthwhile rain.

Woooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

About bloody time, and got everything done with minutes to spare before she came down.

Grass cut (probably annoyed a few neighbours at 9.30am but who cares) - checked
Cleaned out gutters - checked
Cleaned out gauge - checked
The sound of water going into the tank - CHECKED!

[snowfall]

13.9mm here so far. Still coming down steadily! We've had plenty of lightning and thunder too. Such a relief to have a good fall of rain!

[WeatherViewer]

The rain is beautiful, but is this it?

Was hoping for some stormy action this afternoon!

[Didjman]

14mm on my pws here so far and the main band has passed.One faily low cc sounded a bit like an f18 going over.

[StratoBendigo]

5mm here this morning. But the airport AWS has scored nothing so far. It's a fine line...

[Wilko]

Nice entree
Hopefully main course this arvo
The burea forecast looks at odds with MetEye
The burea say most likely during the afternoon but MetEye has the majority of rain now
Hmm
Hopefully we get some clearance for the storms developing later

Going by the radar, looks to be a nice and calm afternoon. I mean that literally. Rain looks to clear shortly.

I bet no one expected that.

[snowfall]

21.7mm so far. Just went outside to check the tanks. Interesting that the ground isn't at all slushy. It would typically be muddy after this amount of rain, but it goes to show how much it is soaking straight down into what has been very dry soil over the past few weeks.

Yeah the wind is going to go calm, then back around to North soon
And then pickup due to the approaching complex of fronts etc

Ive had thunder, lightning and about 20mm at Mt Macedon. 10mm in 30mins when it started. A bit of a deluge but fabulous to see.
This is the first rain of any note since the 30th of January.
Still raining very satisfactorily now.

[Dane]

13.2mm's this morning well over twice what we had in the preceeding 54 days.
Pity the main rainband cleared so quickly but we will get some showers over the next couple of
days. BTW whens that Wimmera radar due to come online.
The last news I saw was back in August last year when they said that the BOM had narrowed it
down to two sites - Donald and Edenhope and that it was still on track to open mid 2018.
You would think they would have made their decision by now and would have started work on
that site if they are still on track with that timeline.

[Macedonian]

32mm for me although the bom says officially 35mm for Mt Macedon.
Much more than i even hoped for.

[snowfall]

More than I expected here too. Finished with 27.3mm. The sun’s out now.

[Skywalker]

18.7mm here, so just shy of the 20mm mark.

[Didjman]

pws stopped at 21.8. Haven't checked manual gauge
