Victoria: Low pressure system. March 4th-10th 2010

[Andy]

Ok game on here now. I was not convinced after a walk with the dog, quite a decent s/w breeze and feels like the humidity has dropped alot too. Lets hope there is no (or not too much) damage to stuff in the comming hours.....

[Karl Lijnders]

Spitting out here in Lilydale...

Some magnificent looking towers and greenage to the NW and N. Should extend further west over the coming hour and cover Melbourne's east too.s

I encourage all our guests to join!!! Let us know what is happening in your part of Melbourne and VIC. An exciting system and we document them well here so get involved and join!! Won't take long!!!

Pity it's not night because some of these lightning strikes are rather intense.

[the fishman]

It has gone very still in the Ivanhoe/Greensborough/Viewbank area.

I really wish it would get dark so we can watch the light show.

[Skywalker]

Cat is inside this time, made sure of that after yesterday. Poor thing was hiding under my foxtail plant!

[I_Love_Storms]

Exciting....more thunder now...hooking back to Lilydale it looks like. That line down at Colac is hectic, they will get swamped!

[norfolk]

I'm not ruling out another direct hit here, that red blob looks to be heading our direction!

Come on red blob! Come visit me!

Oh wow lightning! And now a rumble!

[Dc449]

Looking good, hopefully i get a direct hit today unlike yesterday when i got on the edge

[dagget]

With any luck this lot will bypass those who were hardest hit yesterday....more lightning and thunder here...sill moderate rain though

[Anthony Violi]

here we go peoples, phase 2 is at our doorstep!! Enjoy the next 12 hours!!

[droughtbreaker]

Got a near flang, house shook. Rain still just moderate intensity.

Ok, First big rumble of Thunder in Kensington. My brothers dog is a storm chaser...he loves them! He has just gone beserk!!!

[Leasy]

It's on like donkey kong here - lots of bright flashes of lightning to my north and deep rumbles - getting darker here too!!!

[chillout]

Lightning then thunder almost instantly after just then. Not liking the look of that line on radar, not penetrating through to the coast. Similar set up at yan yean, north of viewbank, hopefully it can push through so the nth/ nth east suburbs can get a decent drink as well. wonder how they are travelling at future music festival about now.

[Duckey]

AV, I'm not far away from you, and starting to hear the rumbles now. Croydon North always seems to be what I call a "dead zone" - the storms always seem to swing above us and out towards Yarra Glen, or below us and over to the Dandenongs. Do you think we may actually get some action this evening? Here's hoping!!!

[Dane]

Looks like this first lot of storms is tracking a bit west, northern and western subs will do best, once again we look to miss out on the best of it down here.

I am close to Viewbank and it has just started.

[Skywalker]

It's on! Look at that line of storms develop, we look to be right in the middle of it!

[AmaroK]

is it just me, or is the radar doing its normal trick of only seeing the very front line of the system? Or is it really just that narrow?

[I_Love_Storms]

MAssive hail holding cbs to the west. Fingers crossed that no one cops it.
