Wet wet wet here with flangs galore from this latest line. Scored a black core. Easy 6-8mm in it here

Solid rainband over us presently. High country is drier than it should be for now and the lake is dropping thanks to GV irrigation I guess.

Yeah that early AM temp spike is nuts.

This rain band has been a giver for us so far with about 10mm falling since it started about 6 and still delivering moderate rain presently.

Tornado or severe microburst just touched down at our Mansfield house. Big trees down, debris everywhere

Here we go. Blue, warm and sunny in Melb presently. Radar looking more intense from the west with each frame

Indian Ocean SSTa is worth noting. Really warm patch South of India, and a cold patch near Java is having a strong influence IMO. There could be a supercell outbreak in Vic tomorrow afternoon looking at those SRH values... Tornado anyone? You look like being in a prime spot for intense storms ...

12mm here 24hr total in two bursts which was in the forecast range

A heavy rain period lasting 20mins for us up here around 11 but that's it for now. Dry but not ridiculous Mansfield way ATM.

Lake Eildon just under 90% has risen slightly from the seasonal low of 88%.

A wet and freezing day in Mansfield with temp maxing at around 7c. Snow was settling after lunch from about 900m. Drove to Tolmie where it was heavy at times. There'd be a thick over now.

Yes in Mansfield Lake Eildon area
in heavy to moderate spurts. 22mm here so far and very welcome.

Is that at Mansfield Blackee?

Yes Mansfield Lake Eildon Gordon

Finally some weather to post about. Constant rain on the old tin roof started about midnight and continues in heavy to moderate spurts. 22mm here so far and very welcome.

Torrential in bayside earlier. Rained all night and absolutely bucketing earlier. Feels like we’ve had about 50 mm in Brighton Yes, inner bayside was in a good position. The city got a quick, isolated dump around 6pm with 12mm. The rainband then really amplified with 3 hours of solid rain here, ...

Lovely soaker this one in bayside. 25mm so far.
Hopefully the rainband stays intact as it moves south east.

Parts of NE Vic doing ok so far with a few 10-20-mm falls already. Dry as in Melb

Hope you’re right there snowfall. Was surprised by ongoing storms last night from around 11 and then right through on an off until 4. These delivered just under 10 mm. This part of the NE is still pretty green but grass fires still a large risk.

Torrential rain in Brighton out of nowhere. Radars presently offline

Dewpoint of 25c! That's getting extreme for Sydney.

Just shy of 30mm here since 9:30 so heavy but can't see where the 100mm + falls would be occurring given the front/rainband is moving quite quickly east with nothing much behind it looking at the satellite

Yeah same up here. Just started again in Mansfield and quite heavy now. Expecting 30-50mm today depending on storm development.
