Heavy rain in the CBD down and viz right down. This will add up quickly.

The eastern burbs are starting to fill in nicely on radar while the showers in the cold air part of this developing low are moving up on Mt Gambier. Quite the classic mid latitude cyclogenesis. Not often you get this type of system in mid February, but when you do the very warm ocean temperatures mean that are very effective rain producers.

This from BOM twitter a couple of hours ago (my bold):
'Storms moving across #Melbourne atm. This pattern will continue throughout the day today: storms moving through, periods of quieter weather, then more storms developing. The most significant storms are likely around 4-6pm.'


Will these storms be associated with what we can see on the radar moving up through the southwest, or will they form up in the clear air between the two bands?

Looks like it's lining us up for another battering. I probably should have left the driveway in the backyard for a couple more days. Ha! :?

With 15mm of rain, humidity of 91% and a sun trying to peak through, it will very shortly feel like you've stepped into a sauna

20.6mm in the PWS.
That heavy for a time I had to raise my voice more than usual while calling bingo at the nursing home.

Took a while to get going, but ended in a hurry. Scored 19.8mm. Locally, 15-20mm across the southern Dandenongs with the top fall just west of me with a 22mm near The Basin.

Now waiting for part 2.
