Very interesting so far, got thunder again here in werribee

[firestorm]

managed to get into the thunderstorm party last night with a small cell a few rumbles where herd but only the 1mm out of it. Light rain off and on this morning but with the radar filling in looking like a very wet arvo indeed

[Anthony Violi]

The stuff to the North is off it head, just erupted in minutes, surface based, currently at Flowerdale and moving in this direction..

[HarleyB]

Looks like we will get a good soaking again this evening, i'm tipping the bulk of the rainfall to be between 7pm tonight and 6am tomorrow morning up here. Could be looking at a total of more than 100mm here by then. Extraordinary!!

Cripes, you're right - just had a look at the radar, that wasn't there 10 mins ago!!! Looks like you might be in for a direct hit AV....hope it swings a tad to the right too and we get some here!

[HarleyB]

The radar is only light blue but the rain is fairly heavy, small drops though so it wont add up to too much in the guage. They look like they could all develop into Severe thunderstorms soon though

[Blackee]

Cue BOM for Road Weather Alert.
However they may wait for roads to cave in before issuing!!

[tizza]

rain here is so heavy it's taking flowers off the plants. no wind, hail, thunder or lightning though

[droughtbreaker]

We had some fairly heavy showers here before but it has all eased back now. Thick low cloud cover so I can't see much structure around or anything. It looks very messy so far, I assume it will organise itself more with afternoon heating into a more substantial convective rain band. It is a bit worrying though from a local perspective that there is not much in the west of the state atm. Perhaps this system is focusing further east as GFS was indicating. Not 100% confident atm of particularly heavy falls here. Maybe just 20mm at this stage.

[Blackee]

Maybe just 20mm at this stage.

On top of the 60mm you have already got Andrew?
I' d say that's a fair result, don't you?
Very very dark here now, patiently awaiting for Thor to unleash!

[melsy]

Just got back from Bunnings and installed my new rain gauge and it looks like just in the time.
We have such a small backyard I hope I put it in properly.

Getting really dark now but no rain yet.

[Blackee]

Thunder heard from the Kinglake or Healesville cell!

[Kris]

Well, about time I showed my face around here. Been running around like a blue assed fly.

Rain to date from Thrusday night = 63.7mm

Not a bad start to the weekend. See how we go with the trough line moving Southwards over the next few hours... Anticipating some nice high falls.

[Duckey]

here comes the wind, here comes the rain, and BOOM!!! There was the first rumble of thunder for the day!!

Who turned out the lights??

[Tassiedave]

No rain in the last 48 hours here in Launceston, not a drop. Forecast rain is yet to arrive. Overcast with increasing humidity.

[occluded]

Thunder heard from the Kinglake or Healesville cell!

... And another big looooong roll of thunder, raining now but nothing serious yet.

[Rivergirl]

Just heard that thunder, it's starting to darken up here in Ferny Creek so we should have a bit of rain soon

You working this arvo mate, or on stand-by? Could be a busy night around the Eastern 'burbs!

[Ausmammal]

Looking to the north from work looks like the heavier stuff just moved towards Ferntree Gully Boronia way up towards the hills. Enjoy up there
Just on the edge here but very heavy rain..,. Time to watch the cars try to flood each other as they race along Ferntree Gully Road

On standby for now but I'll be out there tonight if it gets real busy, for sure
