STW just issued for a decent chunk of western Victoria - heavy rain and damaging winds.

Edit: thunder and good rain here now.

Typically - it will arrive @ School pick up.
Dry so far, although radar is multi coloured.

Edit - big fat drops and 5 minutes till the bell.

Why does this ALWAYS happen during school pick-up! Got caught in it picking up my son from school. On top of that you get the bananas on the road who have this inability to drive the moment a drop of water falls from the sky. :roll:

Radar is certainly looking like a Christmas tree at present. Going to be hit & miss for some.

Lightning seems to be dying off as it edges closer to the Melbourne area as always :?

Look for more storms to fire along the current dry line moving through the Otways. Could impact Melbourne around 9-10pm if they develop.

whats stopping the storms forming over melbourne, quite amazing how they are vanishing - what went wrong, or is this how it was planned? - I notice some of the models still say best time is later tonight / early hours is this still valid or is that pretty much it?

Great start to the event here. Was worried this wasn’t going to be a bust, but already near 7mm, perhaps ten audible rumbles and repeated heavy bursts of rain :D Radar looks very promising with big storms developing NNW of Melbourne out towards Bendigo. The whole system is about 50-100km east of the progs, so Melbourne and central is in the firing line.

Some of the cells in north central look nasty :?

Tropical feel out there with gusty winds makes it feel like the monsoon has arrived :D
