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 tomorrow. Dew points are rising around the state and the air certainly feels like something's brewing

I'm getting genuinely worried tbh. LI of -5c and SWEAT index > 500 indicates supercell carnage is possible.

I expected just a sprinkle for most of Melbourne and it seems that's exactly what will happen.
