Lots of rumbles here and the odd crack- boom. Radar doesn’t look impressive enough for all the rumbles we’ve had - at a guess about 30 now. Steady moderate to heavy rain. Adding up nicely. Just passed 14mm. Might get 20mm before this first bit clears. MTD is closing in on 50mm, so only need 70mm more to get to average (shows what a crappy month it’s been so far despite the La Niña).
Nice band of 25-50mm on the southern side of the divide. Those just north will be feeling cheated as it drops to a mm or two quickly.
There’s rapid development happening in the southern Wimmera with cloud tops exploding. The upper trough is still west of Mt Gambier. As it gets closer would expect the clouds to start to move more NW to SE. Would expect more to come, so hopefully EC is onto something.

Radar for the rest of the evening looks pretty ho-hum....
Both EC and ACCESS are keen for more storms overnight and I think the radar looks quite good with development. Stuff building to the west as you mentioned HB. Have not looked at the uppers recently but recall a small upper trough moving through Vic sometime today, would help with development/lift.
Go the bombersss!

Just torrential here atm. Tropical dumpers just passed 45mm and rising rapidly. The radar has a gap in it due east of the city, so ignore the details James. The storms aren’t dying, they are passing into a gap where the radar can’t resolve detail.
Heaviest fall I’ve spotted so far is 90mm near Narre Warren It is still dumping down there so must be a chance for us to see 100mm plus locally. Finally La Niña delivers after lots of false starts 
Looking at obs about half the metro has scored the months average. City still need about 20mm as do most of the burbs north of the city. Hoping they can get there.
Big pick by EC. GFS dudded this one big time

Completely missed this event in Tasmania. Virtually nothing: Rain so far this November: Launceston 6.6mm Hobart 12mm
Last night when I posted that I had 9.5 mm and asked for 15 more to fill the tanks, well I got 50 more . Closing in on 60mm now with solid rain falling. The back yard is awash, when it stops I will bail out water from the overflowing fish pond.
Ah isn't trying to pick the weather unpredictable.

Racing up here now. 64mm. Best is just south of us with couple of gauges showing over 70mm.
Still need 23mm to the monthly average. That’s about 20 minutes more rain at the current rate.

Finished with 31mm, a great result but at the lower end locally - quite a few 40 and 50mm falls, wouldn't be surprised if there were even higher spot totals. A real 'something from nothing' La Nina dump!

Just pathetic from GFS, even to the point that the 06z and 12z runs were still showing bugger all while it was (is) pouring over a very wide area in real time!

25mm down here. Definitely on the lower side compared to areas just north of me, but no complaints by any means
