[jmw2207]

[flatcam]

Definately some storm clouds developing to our North and North East. Looking good!

Cheers, Cam

Another line of possible storms developing alligned N-S to the west of Ballarat, could give metro areas a nice thump if it develops more on it's nth edge. Suns still out here and starting to get that "feel" about it.

11.8mm since midnight, total to just over 15mm. Sun's been out a reasonable amount this afternoon and getting pretty breezy. 29C/22DP/64%RH.

Eildon Fire Tower on 23.8mm since 9am.

Stupid rain. It broke up just before it got here and went around us. Temp 25.6°C, DP 23.1°C, Humidity 87%

[Karl Lijnders]

I have just conferred with home and 20mm has fallen there for the event, much the same as One in Dandenong so that makes sense being SSW of Scoresby.

Not the huge and unbelieveable falls in the NW! Oh my!

Well not so dry afterall for January. I wonder if February will be dry!!?

From 3AW on twitter
UPDATE: @DenisWalter3AW says 12 homes in town of Nattimuk have had to be evacuated. Some Horsham homes being sand-bagged.

Homes built right on river bank, river banks are like large Nature Stips then a road and then flash homes.
Possibly need more than sang bags if it does flood.
Other homes (units) have been recently built on the old sheep yards, really low lying area not all that far from the river either.

Just home from work and hoping that it strengthens on the southern edge as well to give us a bit of a show

[cutofflow]

Im not so familier with the wimmera river but the bulk of the water is still well upstream sitting at Glynwylln so sandbagging is precaution unless localised flooding

All eyes will be on Glenorchy later today to see if this is going to be a major flood.

I heard that too! He said they have increased the predicted rainfall totals for VIC? Anyone got any further details?

Is there any way to hear the press conference?

Thankyou

That band is fairly heavy, sounds like it isnt but it is adding up quickly

[Anthony Violi]

Looks like its lining up the catchments finally through the Yarra Valley. Sky is dark with black bases and can see the tops of the storms to the north. Still back building slightly but the flow is now NNW so the Eastern half of Melbourne looks like it now gets its turn.

[karenamelia]

The sand bagging is on Burnt Creek it comes into the edge of the city My friend is sandbagging now Shes out Williams Road
After 4 inches last night 100+ mils Its no wonder the creeks are bursting the banks Natimuk is flooded too Evacuations are happening now

[David]

Up to 25.5mm for the week, a little less then I thought we would of had so far, amazing falls in the west many records will of broken.

[SC.]

Got thunder and rain here now.
