New Years Week: becoming hot and humid with possible storms

[Madmel]

Reporting from parents it has been bucketing down and thunder in Gisborne. Central areas are getting a good show

[Leasy]

Wish I could see the development, it's all grey skies here at the moment, there's a slightly darker grey to my west, but that's all I can see.

[brayden]

Looks like might get it, line going through Deniliquin to come this way.
Those cells N and NW of Renmark look insane!

[droughtbreaker]

This is AMAZING!!! Constant torrential rain, hail and now some close strikes! It just keeps buiding and back building. it's crazy!

[dagget]

Just when you think it dies it comes back, flashes, thunder and more hail,... :jumpingmany:

[Skywalker]

Stop stealing all the glory and send it down this way!

Fantastic stuff guys!

[Leasy]

Audible thunder here in Mill Park - long and deep.

Stop stealing all the glory and send it down this way!

Fantastic stuff guys!

I reckon it's on its way down there. Melton about to get a taste of the action by the looks.

[samueliza]

i hope u enjoy it . next to no chance of seeing it here. Sounds memorable for those who get it!

[dagget]

All over for now, birds are out nice a calm, distant rumbles and the sun is out!...still dark to my NW so who knows what will pop up later on. Should have taken some photos but was just watching the thing rotate around absolutley awesome.

[Leasy]

Thunder getting more frequent and longer here - looks kind of a bit yellow outside, very strange.

[Skywalker]

hmmm, it's still very much a 50/50 chance of it reaching here, hope your right Andrew. Seems to be breaking down once it hits Melton. But anything we do get will be a bonus considering the impressive show we witnessed last night.

[samueliza]

thunder in pt cook- no chace of rain tho-( i say hoping to moz myself!)

[Anthony Violi]

DJ what do you make of the mammatus? Seems to have some amazing structure and descending a long way out of the anvil...and the sun coming out now makes it look like its raining out of the anvil..

[Blackee]

Thunder audible @ Doncaster East!

[Madmel]

Thunder here also..no rain yet just dull skies

[tizza]

I've had that really strange orange/yellow glow here for an hour now

[Scott Lawrance]

I think we're about to get hammered! Incredibly loud thunder and lots of lighting with spots of rain just starting.

[Skywalker]

Just had more thunder here too.

[droughtbreaker]

24mm in the gauge after I emptied out 5mm from the first storm so 29mm all up. Now up to 51.8mm in total (since last night). Only 4mm off the monthly average and it's only day 1. Brief lull now as the area of storms has moved away. It's absolutely dark as guts here, more development to the NW looks impressive.
