It appears flash flooding will be a certainty in the western suburbs at least. Ridiculous amounts of rain falling in Hoppers/point Cook and Werribee at the moment.

Just out for a run and got totally drenched! Then one of the loudest claps of thunder ive heard in ages! Lightning lit up the sky like daylight.

And yes........im in Point Cook!!!

Im pushing it towards you guys in the east.

Hoping that Blob on the Mt Gambier radar moves up toward Horsham. It looks like its on its way!

Awesome light show here at least!!! Wind has really picked up

Looks like some devlopment in the Birchip area. Fairly weak radar coverage there i would say. adon??????
Im in Horsham atm. Be good to get sumtin here!

Hobart is the only capital city above 30 at the moment! I wonder if thats ever happened before?

Still think we should see showers and maybe a thunderstorm during Sunday. Milder at first but becoming colder through the day. 5-10mm in it across the city. Thanks for that Karl. If you could make the rain hold off from 2:30 - 5:30 on Sunday that would be great. By the sounds of things thats when it...

Hi Guys,

Just thought id cheekily see what your thoughts are for the weather on Sunday arvo. Really hoping it wont be wet- dont care if its cold! If someone could give me some thoughts that would be great!!

Thanks so much guys!! Keep your updates coming, really enjoying it.

HI Folks, Could anyone give me an indication on what weather to expect on Sunday afternoon? My daughters having a party at the Botanical Gardens at 2:30 on Sunday and am just wondering whether we should reschedule indoors (which means a thorough clean of the house ......lol!). Any advice greatly app...

Very very heavy rain , decent hail and a daylight flang with hige thunderclap here in werribee at the moment.

My wife and daughters are at the You Yangs with their kinder today!!!! Should have gone on Monday!!

At the very least a road weather alert is warranted!! Totally mad out there!

Very heavy rain but no hail. Rain is literally horizontal. Just about to cop the big orange blob! Hope it holds for you guys out east.

Great birthday prezzie for me!!!! Best storm weve had in ages! Absolutely blowing a gale and p***ing down here at the mo!
Windier than last night.

Nothing 10 mins ago, but going crazy out in pt cook at the moment!!!!!

Havent posted for a while but have been in Preston/ heidelberg area for the last 90 mins and has been absolutely pouring down here. Heaviest rain ive seen for some time..............but then again i do live in the western suburbs. Would not be surprised if there was upwards of 25mm out here.

Ok, seems to be a slight clearance in the western suburbs at the moment. Does this mean we will see the wind pick up and then the rain develop again later this afternoon earlier this evening? That is what i gather from what most of you have said.

A guy just rang in to 3aw and said he had 96mm in Wantirna. I strongly doubt that but arent you out that way Karl. I expect to see that sort of number by the END of the system though. Western subs really copped it so far (for once).

Be safe folks!

WTF?????? Heavy rain, thunder and lightning in Point cook! Theres one for the record books!!!!!!!

Hi all. I havent posted for a while. Just spoke to colleague in SA who is driving from Adelaide to Port Lincoln today. She tells me there is water everywhere and there are some serious flooding issues. Having a look at the radar in adelaide i would suggest melbourne may not escape this rainband. Go ...

Really steady rain here in Point cook. Just notched up 30mm since this morning!!!! Wow!

Quite a decent shower in Warracknabeal at the moment. Werent really expecting anything out here today. Was almost cloudless sky two hours ago!
