Last gasp Warmth and Cut-off Low to start May 2021

[StratoBendigo]

Hmmm, 00Z GFS - yes please! (We've just a couple of mm so far)

[Adam38]

A very quick 3.1mm just now here, bom going for 20-35mm for this area tomorrow

[StratoBendigo]

Acc-G also on-board for big falls here. Meanwhile, BOM says 0-8mm...

Update - BOM now reckon 10-20mm tomorrow. This system could surprise us.

Raincloud beginning to build on the radar. EC suggesting it could rain all night.

So far rain doing well this evening to dodge my place, just a few drops. When emptying the gauge this morning, and bringing my overnight and yesterday arvo total to 4.1mm took a couple of snaps.

Fog and some smoke near the surface and a very unstable looking sky above it and Mount Macedon, particularly for 730am in May!

Great shots! The angle of rainfall approaching Melb is odd.. It makes me think it could be very wet tonight..

Nice photos.

Rainy night coming up. Messy slow moving system. The upper trough will soon cut off and the low will head towards Brisbane. As that happens the upslide intensifies and then goes southeasterly so west central should be quite a focus. There is a very strong topographic enhancement with this, so would not be surprised if spots in the foothills topped out over 50mm and perhaps approach the ton.

Thick fog and and rain here atm. 5.6mm so far today adding to the 6.4mm overnight.

[Wilko]

Yes 5mmm here to date
Strange system to view on the charts
Looks like it will Hose down tonight
Anticipating 20mm +

Beautiful photos Mike. I do like this time of year and the changing landscape.

10.8mm here this evening. It added up quite quickly with a mixture of thick drizzle and heavier showers. Decent rain band approaching on the radar which looks set to move across Melbourne.

Now i know how western suburbs people feel when they see all the rain happening only in the eastern suburbs.

I'm hoping that rainband moves over the whole metro area

[Australis(Shell3155)]

That rain band has moved colourfully over all of the Metro and beyond area

Yep it's nice for those out east to experience our sad existence once in a while.

What a great system for us out here in the west! This is the break we have been waiting for & will set us up nicely for winter.

33mm here, 41mm at Laverton the top score.

[hillybilly]

Great system for west central and now spinning up into north central. Probably the best system since this time last year.

Just over 20mm in Ferny Creek for us. Never going to get the best of it but happy with that. Scored 6.4mm on Sunday, so event is a handy 27mm rounded. No complaints.

It's quite unstable so should see some further showers and perhaps even the odd rumble through today.

The rain was very heavy at times overnight and early this morning. Event total is on 55mm here, including Sunday’s rain. 32mm since midnight.

[Onetahuti]

11mms in total here, all overnight, nothing on Sunday. Tank full again so no complaints. With the clearing trend will cycle to the nursing home.

[StratoBendigo]

10mm total since Sunday afternoon. 18mm at Bendigo Airport AWS though.

Clearing now, and sun appearing. That looks about it. NEXT! (Looks quite cold this time next week, possibly some snow on the Alps too)

[Adam38]

Just shy of 60mm for the event!!!

[Wilko]

Just shy of 60mm for the event!!!

Wow that’s very good out that way
12mm was forecasting 20mm but didn’t realise the easterly flow
Maybe 1 or 2mm more

Gorgeous photos Mike

Rain has finally stopped with 68.9mm in the gauge since yesterday afternoon.
