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.

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