Much of the state has done very well in the last 24 hours with most getting 10-20mm with many getting 20-40mm with a number over 50mm.
Great to see so many great falls in the north, west and east overnight awesome event.
More showers, drizzle, rain and strong winds for southern and mountian Vic with another 10-20mm for most, Melb will get most of its rain today and tonight.
Great event everyone has done well and more rain again today cold and windy again

Yeah Twister great falls over a large part of the state and still coming.Closing in on 32mm for the event so far in Mansfield. Loving the wrap. Now turned cold with the westerlies. Oh and a couple of good cells passed here in the wee hours with loud thunder that seemed to echo on and on.

Not much happening here at present, although the filth is making a reappearance.
Should start raining again later as I leave work if the radar is anything to go by.

Wind is a howling NWly outside and it's just 12c. Back to winter.

BoM needs to really work on their forecasting. 95% rain tonight, but guessing 1 to 2mm tomorrow.
And how much tonight?????

There is a forcefield west of Melbourne, as soon as it reached Melbourne's western plains, Pacman formed a gaping hole as was evident on the radar
Not complaining we had lovely rain overnight.

The radar image from Melbourne resembles a Donut. That is all...
I note that Mt William has scored another 30mm since 9am, on top of the 42mm overnight. Just a bit damp there at present!
