Victoria: Rain/storm event - 6th-10th December 2010 (Obs)

[James]

yes looks good,

but i want to know too, what are the conditions like after dark, will it maintain intensity or just die once the sun goes down like it has other days...if so i dont see much happening in melb tonight.

I'm told there needs to be trigger after dark, what is that trigger they need at night and do we have that tonight?

[Kris]

Wow, 35.8mm in total in about 47 minutes. That was incredible.

Flooding everywhere. Even had to don the oranges again and do some sandbagging. Hopefully that is it for the day.

Sounds hard and fast Kris.

[Monbulkian]

Rain stopped here now about half an hour ago. Total of 8.5mm here. Does anyone else have any totals for suburbs in and around the Dandenongs? Thanks

[Kris]

No lack of trigger tonight guys

[Karl Lijnders]

5-10mm across the Dandenongs over the past hour with Beenak in the Warburton Shire having 12-15mm of rainfall. Sort of peaked north and east of you there.

7mm here with the rainfall.

Towers are enormous to the west and can see the thunderstorm bank to the west and southwest. They are that big they look to be down the road!!

[Meso]

Line extends all the way from Port Augusta to Cape Otway.

Here there is some clear air to the west of bendigo and I can see big towers to the south west , maybe it's the storms near ballarat , also towers to the west. Also renmark is going to get absoluty Hammered soon.

Hey guys, I dont wanna put a damper on things, But I think your going to have to be pretty far NW to get some stuff tonight. But im happy to be wrong.

I was thinking of making the trip up north, but i'm not going to risk it tonight with the amount of flooding already in the area. it will be too dangeorus trying to drive back in the dark with the amount of water on the way.

Got some pics in Shep as the first line went through. The main area of interest was a bit further to my north... but you'll get the idea... pics up soon.

[firestorm]

3.6mm around luchtime which has added to the stickyness. Those storms looks huge convection is building locally now and the sun slowly starts to come out hopeing for fireworks later on temps 25.1 DP is 21 RH 78%
