About 25 mm here in the NE today. Close to 100 mm for the last week or so. So wet, squelchy wet ground and all gullied flowing. Landscape looking refreshed and thankful. Interesting to see what the wraparound brings this evening from the NW

Just going through round 4 for the day here. Massive rain rates in this drenched atmosphere. The 3pm cell dumped 12mm in 5 mins! Flash flooding all around Elwood and area. Just hit 50mm for the event since it started early this morning. Cells just materialising out of nowhere at times.

Welcome Ryant1234. Yeah those storms bubbling away to Melb's north may make it to town.

Rained most of the night and early morning here. 23mm ETD

Not a fizzer for parts of central, n central and n east. 35mm + falls so far in ne ranges and 14mm here event total and still coming down nicely. Up to 25mm here is forecast tomorrow with possible severe storm. Dew point arond 20c here currently

Nice little burst Bayside has cleared to blue skies. Meanwhile, in Mansfield we had 15mm so far since about 6am. This was on top of a lucky strike on Wednesday when we received a 20mm fall in 20 mins. Back to green for now. Optimistic for tropical moisture toward the end of the month as some models ...

all this talk of severe storms for many days now in the forecasts but yet to hear one piece of thunder locally, its just been very muggy with rain here and there. Lets see if today delivers, all models said storms through last night but nothing happened. Perhaps wait until this afternoon brings ...

A big thanks to @93ben for the large amount of tech work he has done to sure up the forum for the years ahead, including new site hosting arrangements.

Ummm...that is a crazy frame!

Massive plumes showing on the sat pic SE SA/NW Vic look incredible as does the current radar for the same area.

I'm a little concerned for the NE tomorrow. Could the second tornado in a couple of months happen?

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.
