Picked up 47.25mm here with the Saturday night easterly rain event. Adds to 19mm we got 6 days back to provide the Autumn break for Nth Central Gippsland, soil temp still 18C and grass growth is amazing today. Expecting another 12mm tonight with the cold front, from tomoz on, cool weather will slow ...
8mm for this event here. All erased by 2 days of very strong SW'ly wind. Looks like 2 weeks off here rainwise, but it wont by summer heat either from what I can see coming.
Persistent overnight drizzle tallied another 10.75mm to take us to 43mm for this event, has returned to a light occasionally drizzly easterly morning here - which I was expecting to be SW'ly in the wake of the departing low. Macalister and Thompson rivers have returned to minor flood level again, th...
Thanks for that Ben, but for me the minor issue is with which page of a multi page thread you are currently sifting through: https://i.imgur.com/JSPpGhh.png In the above I'm on P3 but hard to know it. I notice that as you scroll the pages, the backlighted block around the current page number changes...
Relentless rain in these parts. Passing through 90mm since this all started mid-morning yesterday. MTD already 140mm. Was woken by loud thunder around 4am and torrential downpours with RR peaking at 158 mm/hr. It was disturbing to say the least :o Getting seriously wet in many areas of Vic now, per...
Its been a waiting game here in Nth Central Gippsland, in a rain lull this morning however tallied 10.5mm in overnight drizzle patches - 15.5mm for this event so far. Albiet EC is predicting heavy rain to set in here from basically now onwards. Agree with HB re weak el nino/impact winter-spring/less...
Please keep comments respectful in the forum. BOM bashing is not cool. Please also be mindful that some of our significant contributing members are closely connected to the Bureau and deserve respect. Thanks Admin Team Got to stay polite for sure. But Karl would be having conniptions if he thought ...
Plenty of water vapour pouring down from the NW, with most models in agreement of handy rainfall/storms to arrive over Vic Sunday evening through Monday:
The decaying storm system spilled down from the mountains last evening with a few distant rumbles and flashes, settled into a period of light rain which delivered 4.5mm.
Will see if the trough heads east back over us this arvo, warm calm humid cloudy here atm.
Just arrived home after ten days o/s. Missed all of the action here. Just emptied 133mm out of the gauge. YTD is now 1097mm. So very happy. Only one day out of the ten we were away managed to squeak above 20°. A good long period of cool weather. No days above 30° over ten months now. Love it. The C...
Some heavy SSE'ly showers pushed us 32mm here for this event yesterday afternoon (possibly the lowest tally in Central Gippsland luckily). Campers and water skiers at Lake Glenmaggie will be having a ball due to the better exposed beaches resulting from lowering its level by 1 metre due to the threa...
A storm embedded ENE'ly rain band passed over us over past 90 mins, 11mm from that, takes me to 25.5mm for this thread, will be interesting to see if we "catch up" when the low gets closer to Merimbula and the inflow bands turn to the more favourable SE'ly direction. Not that any farmer is...
Sale now up to 84mm, most of which has been since 5am. That would be causing some decent flash flooding. You getting any of that in Maffra Petros? Seen photos of flooded roads in the Maffra side estates just now. Sale was in the storm alley, Maffra had 2 storms over 45 minute period 4.30am for a to...
Nothing to report out this way except persistent fresh easterly breeze and partly overcast. Rain predictions for here have backed off for most models except BOM's which predicts 90mm by Thursday here.
Southern Rural Water have started releasing water at a rate just under minor flood level, probably to create a 10% buffer. For Maffra, the average of the four models on WZ for this event have gone 93 - 66 - 72mm over the past 3 days. There is certain to be at least moderate flooding in some Vic regi...
