Victoria: Low Pressure Trough 9th - 10th Dec

[eddie]

30 degrees, 35% humidity and DP of 12 atm here in South Warrandyte

[aussiestormfreak]

NEVER EVER underestimate the dangerous power of lightning! One MASSIVE staccato bolt landed well under 500m away from my house... and I was outside when it happened!!!

[Stone Free]

Still no sea breeze in the inner northern suburbs which bodes well for the metro area.... but don't want to count the chickens just yet.

[Geoff]

All just missing me so far, can hear it all rumbling around, radar showing an increasingly red cell bearing down on me now from the east...

[Geoff]

Frankston's gone black!

[James]

oh Sh*T big thunder, that was random....i better get off the net....although the moment i turn off the computer it always seems to go away.

hmm nothing since, this is very dangerous lighting weather with bolts out of the blue indeed!

[Lara_Hunter]

god i would love for those cells in the east to go west instead of south west, intensify over the bay and give me 30mm in Lara in the next 2 hours.. really hanging for a cold beer, a deck chair and sit back and watch some fun weather...

[Nick Sykes]

black bases all over the eastern sky here, with some developing overhead. I think the eastern burbs will go off soon.

All of a sudden 32C here so going to help convection alright. Would love the nth central areas start to fire soon but should be an interesting evening.

You're not wrong there Geoff. I'm watching to see if the black core goes from Frankston to Mt Martha where our holiday house is. We'll be there tomorrow, terrific spot watching the storms come over the bay

[aussiestormfreak]

Quite windy here atm (but not severe/dangerous gusts) and heavy rain too... managed to get about 22 minutes of storm footage on camera, including a bolt of lightning, before the batteries died lol ah well, they're currently being charged up, while I have a fresh, fully charged spare now in use, so I'm off to record more action, which according to the radar, is set to continue for a while

[Geoff]

Line of storms/showers goes all the way back to Mt. Buller, this could go on for hours! Quickfire 4mm here already.

[Australis(Shell3155)]

smack in the middle. either side of me here.

Sounds like a perfect afternoon to me! I'll have a bourbon instead of the beer, though Love your pics Rog, nice one

Just a few drops of rain here, we're on the very, very edge of it all. Saw an amazing CG to our east on the way back from school, it was right in front of us, perfect view

Edit: OK, not on the edge any more, getting some good steady rain here now, no sparks though.

[Rhino]

A nice line developing along the murray river moving SSW would be brilliant tonight, although radar is frustrating for most at the moment.

Rhino.

[SC.]

Just heard thunder here.

[Lily]

The smell of rain in the air is so strong!

[Australis(Shell3155)]

Had a few massive sized drops, can hear rumbling, ground is dry.

[blackmamba]

Thunder was going just before.
We got the smell of the rain too, Lily. Now it's starting...

[Supercellimpact]

Got great view of all the convection going up in the east. There are 5 or 6 distinct areas of updraft and as I type the Pileous cloud forming at the top of it is insane. I am taking lots of photos - will try and upload later. Here's one for you Deno "OMG, OMG"

Rog.

Which Deano are you talking about, Twister ( Dean) or Me.
