Just went for a quick drive around, thought thats a big line developing to my N and NW, but wont come near us....had a look on the current radar and thought again!

Got home from work, noticed that it is quite warm here, gotta be a good thing

This is going to be one hell of a rare event, I can never remember storms coming all the way from NSW and hitting here.

More big storms over the border too, they keep developing. Real steady rain and thunder for ages here.

Wow AV, u might be in the right (or should i say wrong spot!). I suppose if its a big line, the western suburbs wont escape unscathed will they? We got a nice drop of rain yessterday, rain guage is stuffed so i dont know how much.Would love a follow up. The grass is so much greener already!

Hi all first post on this forum
Am thinking that this line will keep its intensity upon tracking towards melbourne and surrounds temp and dp's look promising enough

heres hoping for more of the wild stuff

on a side note, the dams should be getting a good drink for this time of year

[Dc449]

So do we expect that line to hold intensity for Melbourne or not?

[droughtbreaker]

Very pretty colours on the radar coming down.

Potential for a massive caning for many of us, particularly on the ranges where there is extra uplift, that's where some of the embedded cells could get interesting.

[Dc449]

Great to have you onboard

[droughtbreaker]

Of course it will keep its intensity, it's driven by convergence into an upper and surface low, it will keep going all night and into the morning.

So do we expect that line to hold intensity for Melbourne or not?

I'm betting yes

[Madmel]

Agree there Sam. Pretty green here as well after yesterday's good dumapge. Has been pretty humid and warm since lunchtime and makes me wonder how intense it is gonna be when it gets here

[dagget]

Just starting to rain here now, this will indeed be very intersting, geting dark too

[Andy]

Hi All, I found you...... Great to read posts for today, you are all very informative. Not much happening here in Geelong at the moment but I cant help but agree with predictions of a wild few hours ahead for all metro area. My brother is in Shepp, ill get a report shortly if I can.

[chillout]

anyone got obs for shepparton - rainfall mm? hasnt updated on WZ site since 4pm, would be interesting to see how they have fared

[Thunderstruck]

TS, Tell Ben that he needs to get out the way of that embedded supercell ASAP.....if it catches him he may cop not only a hail pounding but a tornado wrapped in the rain. Not sure if he realises that lol...there is massive curvature behind the line from the SC, looks like a classic Rear Inflow Jet on a growing squall line. We are skipping back towards Finley watching for damage and also to go for the SCs appearing just north of the Border.

Dw mate am guiding him and he does know a bit but def needs my help, have stopped him going down in front of that supercell core, am telling him to do everything he can do stay east of the line but may need to finally punch it in a 'safer' area to catch the new storms are you mention. Not over yet, will go into the evening near the border.

Starting to look very ominous to my NW, might go for a walk to check it out.

[norfolk]

getting closer!
