A few passing rumbles today here in Berwick, but despite the pretty amazing sounding and forecast this morning I did not have high hopes (trough too close to Melbourne for my liking) so I wasn’t disappointed. Last night’s storm was enough for me👌 If that trough was 100km or so further west at 9am th...

Pretty decent CAPE should persist around Melbourne well into the evening. I would keep an eye on those storms around the northern outskirts. Edit: one of the better light shows in recent memory now taking place from here in Berwick :) Edit 2: quick video I took of the view from my back yard: https:/...

Most recent sounding for Melbourne indicates a pretty low lifted index, and Windy.com has elevated CAPE values all around Melbourne this afternoon.

Last sounding indicates some pretty marginal instability - did the BOM put the “possibly severe” qualifier in their forecast because whatever storms (not severe in and of themselves) pop up would coincide with these awful winds?

Classic case of Melbourne atm being to close to the centre of the low. Everything spinning around it.
Precisely. I never buy into the hype when the low is pretty much exactly over Melbourne, particularly early in the day.

This summer was almost as bad as last summer for the lack of storms after the new year. La Niña didn’t do a hell of a lot for Melbourne, but then again it wasn’t a strong one. It has been an extremely boring run of weather for the last few months in my part of Melbourne, have basically completely tu...
