It's 1.23am and I reckon we've hit 40mm in Ferny Creek now and it's still bucketing down
50.6mm here. Not often surprised but that one surprised me. Was talking to our local brigade the day before and said we'd get about 20mm, possibly 30mm but that would be tops... and now we could well crack 60mm if the showers lines us up. Still getting coldies here ATM.
MTD is 220mm or there about. We got 225mm in November 2011 so wettest month in 6 years. Be good to go past that one
Big rises on local creeks across Melbourne with many peaking higher than last weekend. Check out Garidners Creek at Blackburn.

Looked across our local gauges and definetly some strong gradients. A spot about 2km southeast of us was running about 5mm ahead of us, while another spot about 2km was running about 10mm behind. The cells well quite small embed within the band. A couple actually looked to have a bit of organisation moving left or right a touch. We did well in getting the initial couple of storms. The southern Dandenongs is a magnet for nwly convection, but it more often peaks just south of me, but this time it peak almost over me.
Btw bit of a miss out west. Stunned to see only a mm or two for areas just NW of Melbourne such as Macedon.
