THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 12:21 pm Wednesday, 12 January 2011,
Valid until midnight on Wednesday, 12 January 2011.
A very humid and unstable airmass continues to reside over Victoria.
Thunderstorms are considered a chance anywhere across the state but are most
likely through central, southwestern and northeastern parts. With significant
amounts of moisture in the atmosphere there is the potential for heavy rainfall
from any storms, although with a low level jet over the state storms should be
relatively quickly moving. Flash flooding is still considered a risk, however,
especially if a series of successive storms moves over a given location.
Damaging wind gusts are also a risk with storms although large hail is
considered less of a risk. A severe weather warning for flash flooding is
current for the Mallee, Wimmera, Southwest, Northern Country, North Central,
Central and Northeast forecast districts.
