Victoria: Rain/Storm event: 29th Nov - 5th Dec (Obs)

[Pengaz]

Light rain beginning to fall here in the past 15 mins. The low cloud level has really cleared off a bit now and has exposed a darker slab of mid-level cloud approaching from the East.

Cells appear to be firing in C Vic now. Should be an entertaining drive back to Melb at least...

Hi guys!

Long time lurker first time poster.

I am located in Yea (recently moved back from Melbourne), its just starting to rain here now and its looking quite dark. We have some rumbles last night (late arvo) followed by a massive BOOM which took out our power for a short time.

Happy weathering peeps

Hello & welcome!
I can see it out your way, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you get a few rumbles very, very shortly.
There's some really nice towers out in that direction.

Curiously, we've just picked up a gentle wly breeze ahead of the rain coming in from the east.

Welcomd Tilda!! Have fun!!

Interesting that storms have delivered up to 16mm in Mildura since 9 AM. Infact, 9mm of that in the last 30 mins.

Heavy showers currently pretruding their way down from the northeast towards central Victoria ahead of rain areas. Some of these will become lightning active this afternoon. Also watch western Victoria later this afternoon for cell development.

Lots of convection getting organised down here currently, particularly now since the sun is out. Hopefully things can get going. Geelong cell earlier shows that it can.

Hi Tilda - glad to see another Yea-ite on the forum!

[Karl Lijnders]

Quite a lot of showers developing now with maybe the odd rumble across Melbourne. Plenty more back in the southern slopes of the eastern ranges that will come through as well. Local falls of 10-15mm possible, especially over the NE and N suburbs and the backside of the Dandenongs.

26C here and if we can rise a couple of more degrees then it may be on!

Ryan, buy me one too

[Jake Smethurst]

Will be watching closely a line thats developing from Penola - Horsham - Swan Hill - Griffith. Also watching a line that looks to be developin from about Penola - Nhil - Mildura.

Heaps of activity developing this afternoon.

Gidday Tilda, welcome aboard, great to have you here

Looking very grey and murky round past the Dandenongs from here. Sun's out over my house though!

[schitzengiggles]

Buxton cell is moving rapidly and appears to be getting more organised.

[Soxy]

Absolutely belting down in Ringwood for last 15 minutes

[Scott Lawrance]

Does anyone know how unusual it is to get rain from the east? I mean - it doesn't happen very often.

[eddie]

Getting even heavier out here now, going for a good half an hour or so

[Soxy]

But when it does come from the East its always good Rain.

[James]

not a drop here just yet

*edit*....here it comes just now!

[Karl Lijnders]

Can see it to the north here from work. On the edge!

Certainly a nice convegence zone between the S winds and the ENE breeze upstairs.

There are plenty more showers moving in from the east.

2mm back at home but nothing here.

[Monbulkian]

Have had 0.5mm here overnight. Have had a few light showers this afternoon but nothing in the gauge.

Im in the city and just watched the cells dumping on the Dandenongs and outer eastern suburbs. As the precip moved south westerly a base feature emerged on the northern side (beyond Doncaster) and drew chunky scud into some funky shapes below the updraft. The scud formed a very blocky cloud directly below (and the same size as) but never made full connection with the updraft base. Was really cool to watch evolve over 5mins or so.

Absolutely, this is when we get out heaviest falls and its awesome Still bucketing down here quite heavily now up to about an hour since it began and the radar shows its still got a fair bit left

[Rivergirl]

We haven't had any rain yet here in Ferny Creek but it's very dark

[tizza]

A nice little cell to my south is developing nicely, it's getting organised with a nice little beaver tail and has kick up some wind.
