Getting dark to the northeast here in Cheltenham. On-track for a direct hit at the moment.

Where's Stevco! Where's Stevco!? You've got a cell on your doorstep mate!

I am in Cranbourne too Jake, that storm looks like it will just miss me again.
Plenty of thunder but no rain

Line of storms approaching from NE now, near Elmore. Could be a fun afternoon.

Unbelievable. The main lot will JUST miss me here in Cranbourne west (5kms from centre of Cranbourne).

I promised 3 days ago i wouldn't whinge, but c'mon. That's about 5 near misses in 2 days. :(

All.goinh north and south again

Forget the above post, it's just developed out of nowhere. Waiting for a direct hit from the edge of that!

Parents on the other side in Cranbourne East currently having a rainfall rate of 120mm/h. !!!

I'm currently in Frankston which is lining for a direct hit. Ooohhh yeah

Looks like a multicell merge is underway in Melbourne's SE

Right in the gap, completely misses here. Not a drop. I need it to come from Warburton direction, but I also can see in the radar frames a whole lot of rain to the NE of there just disappear as it comes over the Yarra range. Not our favorable direction.

Cranbourne West 2mm so far, compared to Cranbourne East's 16mm.

How you going Dane so far?

Yes quite a few angry looking cells in the SE and heading down the Mornington Peninsula, also Phillip Island.

We need to squeeze every mm we can from this rouge system because the charts don't look promising for further rain anytime soon. It's looking very hot and dry over the new year. The weather Perth is getting is a prelude to what to expect.

Went to Jells Park East, had a great view of that cell. On the radar you could see a slight hook appendage, which can be seen in the second shot. There was a slow rotation which was fascinating to watch.

Dane, Stevco, did you get much lightning/thunder? Shame about the 2/3mm, they'll be plenty of higher totals and local flooding elsewhere down that way, the system just keeps building on itself. Falls up to 30mm.

Elsewhere across Melbourne, hopefully there is enough clearance for a bit of a recharge ahead of later this afternoon and evening with further showers and storms still possible.

That cell this morning beat me by 2 hours. I arrived in Seymour at 9am and it hit at 7am, how do you think I feel? :P maybe I should endlessly whine about it :roll:
