[Didjman]

I am about to get slammed! Radio going nuts - very dark sky in the west/NW. But the tracker is blank around here??

[Jake Smethurst]

Showers on and off here all day, still continuing. Cloudy for the most part. Very warm and muggy though.

Should see some thunderstorm development over western areas as well later this afternoon.

Storms moving SSE over central parts at the moment so Melbourne is looking good for some action in the next few hours.

[Tempest]

Massive heavy dark cell just passed over Ashwood. Rumbling away nicely up there as I type

[SC.]

Constant thunder here, sky is looking very unstable. DP 17.1C

[Lily]

And bang goes the radar immediately to my west! Wow, that just appeared like magic!

Edit: I'm sure I'm hearing distant rumbles here, anyone else getting it?

[James]

me thinks more will just appear out of nowhere anytime now

yes distant rumbling

wow its gone black on radar!

[eddie]

Short heavy shower here about 10 minutes ago, no rumbles heard

[stratospear]

I'm not sure that surface conditions are all that great here. SW breeze and not much convection going on...

[Didjman]

the radar shows black cores between Springvale and Carrum. Stay safe!!

Hey lily, just got home, and hearing it to our south west.


Was some great views on the drive south. Saw the rotation Karl mentioned, and AM band was going mental. Raining here now, with some quite "green" clouds to my west suggesting hail. Gusts starting to get up too

[wolfcat]

lots of AM Static, and just caught some huge drops from the edge of of that black blob in Bentleigh

[stormygirl]

Missed me by 'that' much....

Was fun to hear the rumbles and watch the rain shaft explode, but all I got was a few drops. Sun has popped through now...

Well that's that, finished my year 12 exams! Here's BOM's latest warning:

[Leasy]

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

[Tempest]

That cell that just went over here really was monstrous looking! Plenty of rotation and very low. Now moving towards Cranbourne with a black core.

About 15 seconds of fat drops here, then a sunny break, now looking very dark again.

[stratospear]

I'm starting to think "fizzer" here.

[David]

Non stop rumbles from that storm to my WSW, new development or radar just to my north

[wolfcat]

Cloudy with the chance of apocalypse

Wow, that one in the SE burbs popped out of nowhere! Only looked at the radar after I got the STW for the SE suburbs on the pager a few moments ago.

Looking south from Doncaster there was masses of big black sky, looking quite dark to the north and east too now I look closer.

[Blackee]

Got a great view and couple of pics from that Springvale cell. Awesome shelf with lowerings!
This was what I was expecting based on yesterday' data but got cold afternoon seeing charts this morning!

EDIT: 6mm in not much time at Moorabbin!
