Damn! I think I'm too far north here - it is getting darker in Doncaster though! But wow @ the cells in the SE Burbs! Looks like we'll be in for a wet day.

Wow @ all the totals! I'm just sitting on 18.9mm since the storms yesterday - hopefully we have some more to come!

Spoke too soon, absolutely pelting down!

Gah, they all seem to weaken around me - will have to keep watching.

BOM has now issued a Flood Watch for Gippsland area, see the Warnings thread for more info http://www.theaustralianweatherforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=766&p=33677#p33677 Reports on the 12pm news of locusts sighted in Doncaster, Mill Park and City being brought down on from the north...

Just got home in time for it to start pouring! Big fat heavy drops too, getting dark from the North.

Thunder getting louder here. Might just dirt us but it's getting quite dark too

We are getting rumbles here!

It's 22.8c and DP is 11c, getting darker to my north west, might go for a walk to get a better visual - that storm is insane! If it does make it here it's probably going to be epic!

59mm for us for this system, very happy with this! Although I would like it to be a bit warmer, it seems that Winter doesn't wanna go away!

Just to echo some of the other sentiments, thanks for all of the updates Karl, smashing job!

Just checked the gauge to find 40.1mm - not bad at all

We're up to 12.7mm and climbing - non stop heavy soaking rain - very nice!

Finally pouring here now - very nice!

Rain for the eastern suburbs is just appearing on the 128k radar now. You should get wet in about half an hour!

Let's hope so! It's so hot and sticky here - feels like the tropics!

No rain for here yet, but I'm assuming it's not too far away?

Checked the gauge this morning to find that I have had 2.1mm total - must of had another mm during the night.

Again, not complaining!

Well, I got 1.1mm from some rain tonight - not gonna complain!

Hi guys,

Just got home and checked the gauge - 12.6mm! Not a bad drop I reckon, very happy with that considering I was only really expecting 5mm from this 'system'.

Finished with 45mm of rain since early Friday morning - not a bad drop at all! Only got down to 3.7c so not that cold compared to others - unfortunately didn't see any hail or snow, must have slept through it!

31.6mm to finish the day - very happy with that!
