[Blackee]

Mt Baw Baw topped the charts over the past 24hrs with 35mm.
Most other falls were around the 5-15mm range.

Please note that Heatherton Road between the South Eastern Freeway & Stud Road is closed due to flooding.

[Gordon]

26.5 mm from this system with a little bit more drizzly stuff to come. Brings us to a mere 81.5 mm mtd (a three digit result for December looking unlikely?) 1071 mm ytd.

Btw the National Climate Centre outlooks are very accurate - you just have to reverse them! Edit - just shifted the rest of this to General Weather Sniper.

[David]

another 11.5mm overnight with more showers moving up from the south now.

MTD is at 95mm YTD 1012mm.

[Blackee]

Has got rather gloomy in CBD.
May pick-up a mm or 2 out of these showers!

[Australis(Shell3155)]

Light drizzle, enough to send me inside out of the Garden.

[Blackee]

The Ford at Cora Lynn is closed due to flooding of the Bunyip River.

Just a heads up that tonight there is a total lunar eclipse..hopefully cloud will clear but it may be partly cloudy at best.

Just a heads up that tonight there is a total lunar eclipse..hopefully cloud will clear but it may be partly cloudy at best.

When is it suppose to peak?

Also, does anyone know when the next rain outbreak might be due?

[Blackee]

Floyd is correct Steve.
Around 9pm, and it looks like the skies will be fairly clear by then!

And Steve I thought you would be sick of the rain by now!
Not much on the horizon at the moment, perhaps around New Years Eve!

[Anthony Violi]

IF GFS is correct, the people at Carnarvon and through the Gasgoyne have some serious issues to think about..they couldnt handle another one but its looking more likely.

For us the few days leading up to new year could see another long lasting outbreak of humid and stormy weather..

[Ausmammal]

2.1mm today. Total: 63.7mm (from 1pm on the 17th so could vary if we had rain earlier in the day.)

[Supercellimpact]

Went out for a look at 9.15pm, it was clear skys and nothing! Then I read on a website it was ending just a the moon come up in Australia before 9pm. Damn but the thing is before then it was still light !

[nafets]

Went outside at 8.50 pm last night to see the lunar eclipse but guess what - it was too cloudy in the eastern burbs! The sky had a red tinge though lol.
