Don’t know how accurate the radar is but it is showing over 50mm near Kyneton in the last hour. Got to be a little flash flooding out there.

Dropped 17mm at Hanging Rock. Right on the edge of it though, clear skies to the east. Hammered down in Woodend earlier.

From what I can see, it looks like an incredible storm around Kyneton atm.. right in the thick of the action for at least an hour now. Flash flooding for sure.

I just checked the manual gauge in the backyard. 55mm ! That’s for north Bendigo. Flash flooding across the road, gutters packed.

I put the chances of rain and storms in cranbourne for the next 4 days at 0% (give or take). These setups are very biased towards the ranges and North of them. Happens just about every summer. Biggest chance is on Monday, when my predict-o-meter is showing a 3% chance

I was hoping you'd get smashed. Looks like it's been a great day along the GDR and nearby areas (and Mallee). Euro was bang on.
Not so much as a drop here. The next 7 days may prove the same.

That stuff was pushing slowly north - now coming south! Can see it getting closer here.

Yep, collided head on with that cell over towards Seymour that was coming south. Looks as though the Seymour cell won! Cracking stuff.
