Troughs with showers/ storms 11 Jan - ?

[stevco123]

Rogue cell just went through here. Probably the biggest drops of rain i have seen in a very long time, some thunder and that's it. 0.6mm out of it

[StratoBendigo]

Some decent towers going up to our West. But they can't see to organise themselves into a storm.

Next!

Despite the warm humid weather currently 29/17 it just hasnt looked like it all day.
Still some lumpy Cu around but they are just not going anywhere.
Must be lack of a trigger.

And/or a lack of surface heating. It is more sunny now than it has been all day.

For as long as it’s this muggy I still hold out hope, personally

Around 25mm here so far from the two storms, and part of that second one came under the roof tiles and through the exhaust fan into the kitchen! Luckily it's mainly over the sink. That hasn't happened since the storm in Feb last year that flooded parts of the town. Crazy heavy rain.
Steamy hot and sunny again now. Ants have been on a mission all day.

Basically nothing in Sale while Mt Moornapa 40km N rec'd 32mm in about 40 minutes from a storm full of CG
and noise as it headed S/E over a few hours.
The trajectory of the next line/stormy front approaching from the W also has a good chance of another clean miss of Sale,
see how it goes.

Looks to me like it's lining Sale up for a direct hit now!

We picked up 1.5mm from a weak high based storm that died on our doorstep after lunch, there is rumbles about again now, from a non-threatening sky, so might get a mm or two from a last hurrah shortly. So 1.5mm for the thread here.

[Tempest]

Ooh, it's looking like round three coming up for us now

[Australis(Shell3155)]

We’ve just had a dose of it all..
some decent size hail, glad there wasn’t much of it..
was a little black popped out of no where on the radar… sky didn’t even look stormy.

Edit.. round 2 on its way..

[weathergasm]

To the west of these storms it’s almost completely cloudless and the westerly wind change is rapidly approaching Melbourne, so I suspect this is the last hurrah for Central areas today

[StratoBendigo]

Nothing today. A very lean summer.

I can almost guarantee that next week will be a repeat - promise of rain but not delivered.

Wow at the structure to my NE and E.

Direct hit, black core which evolved into back building red for 30 minutes. 41mm rain in 30 minutes, everything is flooded, large intermittent hail huge flangs. Went for a walk and Monbulk creek is flooded, amazing to see

[Mike]

Wow that's an epic fall.

Sorry for thread hogging but sun lower added colour to the storms that are possibly dropping rain rates as described as above.

Peak rainfall rate of 111mm/hr - like the good old storms of old - I am sure Ferny Creek got it too.....

Big totals. Glad for you to have it, keeps my hill wet… we’ve had 7mm

Very nice entertainment!

15mm in 20 mins at Mansfield but RR was at 152mm p/hour at the 7:30 pm peak

And great photos!

Well, in terms of where I’m concerned, that sucked.
