14mm here. Wild night - raging wind, driving rain, and the odd bit of thunder and lightning. Currently 6c with the main rainband now behind us.

Handy 7mm here overnight. Cold, dry and windy atm, but showers will develop as the day goes on. It’s a mainly westerly day so will focus on the coast and ranges. Cold uppers so rumbles and small hail a chance.

We’ve got strong warm air advection for tomorrow which will spread drizzly rain (one might call it a warm front :D ). Snow fields ain’t gonna like it as the freezing level jump to about 2000m for a period so rain to near the tops of the hills. Strong front then for Friday night :D Looks just a touch too warm for flurries here on Saturday. Way overdue here for a proper low level snow (11 years since we last had a decent fall) but this won’t be it.

Another warm front for Monday, then cold front for Tuesday.

10mm to start things off , 68 km/h was the highest local gust at the airport last night. Looks like Hogan Island in Bass strait wins the highest gust for Vic @135 km/h, 2nd Mt Hotham @124 km/h

16.5mm here to 9am; local streams on the verge of bursting their banks (again!)

Absolutely sopping wet up here now - anything that falls runs straight off.

Welcome chasersaddict!

More showers moving through, things are ticking over. Access C projecting 20 to 30mm in the next 24 hours locally and big precip totals in the NE ranges. Could be an extra 2 foot of snow for places like Hotham and Falls creek from now to Sunday.

Welcome Chaser!

Locally here saw 6.4mm of rain to 9am today and 3.2mm since 9am. That rain last night was absolutely belting down, accompanied by hail and thunder and of course wind! Crazy for a short moment there. Highest wind gust was 87 km/h around 8:30pm.

Glad things have mostly settled today, though a few more showers since.

Next few days will be very interesting! :)

I saw a couple of uprooted trees on Dandenong-Frankston Rd in Carrum Downs. Some winds they were. Locally i recorded a gust of 74km/h, but i am sure they were stronger looking at some of the damage around the area.

Only 6mm of rain, but the ground really is very wet so the water just sits on top.

Chilly damp day in the Dandenongs, but only 3mm added to the total. We've got a warm front of sorts overnight with strong warm air advection. Going to bring lots of drizzle rain and a freezing level which jumps to near 2000m for a period.

The uppers are steadily warming and has turned soggy at Buller, Baw Baw and Lake Mt. Looks like a Buller shocker with 25-50mm of sleet, graupel and hail in the next 12 hours :o . Will revert back to snow later tomorrow. Hotham and Falls should fare better. Storm totals will be very interesting :D Gotta be a chance for a metre up high by the end :?:

Latest EC has lots of showers every day for another 10 days :D BTW it might feel wet, but apart from west central/north central this is nothing remarkable. Here's the latest obs from Melbourne Water for the past week which put it into perspective (hopefully next week brings a big bounce).

"The 5.7 billion litres of stream flow (into the Melbourne Water Catchments) was 58.3% below the 30 year average for the period (13.6 billion litres)."

Felt forgotten early coldest winter last time was 29th May 2019.

This system now great for more snow before end of VIC school public holidays.

Thanks to slow moving High pressure edge the polar belt in westerlies reduce freezing frost for inland of Northern Country.
