Victoria: Rain/storm event - 6th-10th December 2010 (Obs)

[Jake Smethurst]

Few cells developed NW of Mortlake ahead of the current band of storms moving SSE. Hopefully it developes a little furthe west, than it might cross over here. Keep a close eye on it though.

First celles beginning to drop in Central. A little clearance though no blue sky to the west is where they are kicking off.

I think a line will form ahead of this current line of storms and come through here tonight, between Echuca and Melbourne.

Could be a very interesting evening with hopefully a lightshow for a change.

I have a visual on that huge line of storms in the west. Rumbling away and the gust front is starting to reveal itself

[wolfcat]

well the radar is lying...

I looked out the window and it is raining in Melb at the moment.

[johnno]

Whos in the CBD at the moment? Looks like a cell has developed overhead

[Blackee]

Raining in CBD and very black to my S/SE!

Edit: Heavy rain now!

Not CBD but Richmond, and it's just unleashed. Dumping, heavy tropical rain which is warm. It's feels like Queensland

[BigBen]

In Prahran, heavy rain falling. Where did that come from?

[AmaroK]

Wind has swung in souther areas now, temps backing off by 2-3 degrees...now , will this feed, or kill and developments along the coast?

[occluded]

Raining in CBD and very black to my S/SE!

Yep, hosing down at the moment in Collins St. Glad I'm inside (for now!)

[Jake Smethurst]

That is an interesting one there John. Another pulse cell N of Meredith. All moving SW.

[Poncho]

In docklands its raining - but the rain is coming in from different angles - very weird?

Not very hard, but big chunky drops - plus its still sunny

[Australis(Shell3155)]

29.5 c
No Rain.
Not pleasant outside working in the garden.

[Jake Smethurst]

Latest doppler scans show the CBD cell could drop some strong winds. Keep an eye on it.

[dagget]

In the city now, just watched this line come in from the NE, took a while for the radar to show it but looks like it developed right on top of us.

[wolfcat]

and the worst of it has passed in Southbank

[nafets]

NO! Just left the CBD and i thought something was brewing.... Missed it by that much....

[tizza]

Still raining Temp 30c DP19.8 RH70%, it's vile here, no aircon! It's just started to belt down again. Rain drops are easily the size of 50c pieces

[Blackee]

Didn't miss much Stefan, it's stopped now!
