Looks like the band of rain has barely budged overnight
Was mainly west of Melbourne last night and again this morning. There is a little low currently sat almost on top of Melbourne. This system will weaken in the coming few hours as the main low develops off the NSW coast. As that happens the rain focus will jump east into Gippsland. Going to be some wild conditions out east with big waves and long fetch south and southeast winds,
Been quite lucky here (for the eastern burbs) with 16mm. We got a jump start from the initial band of heavy showers which passed through the southern Dandenongs then out through Belgrave. Not a lot in the northern Dandenongs with sites showing around 10mm. We should see a brief period of heavy showers when the southerly pushes through, though these systems tend to clear quickly and the showers train so will be bit hit miss out here. Could land anything between 5mm and 25mm more.
Meanwhile, solid fall clocking up in west central. Must be a few spots nearing 50mm. And city has just clocked its wettest day for the year passing the previous high of 11mm in February
only 140mm to catch up the the YTD average
Be good to make a decent dint in that.
