9mm here this morning.

Good read this morning all! Sure will be a good couple of days for us.
Has stopped raining here and starting to clear. Just a patch of blue sky visible to my west now.

Had a few flashes and bangs around last night but only around 2mm in the gauge but getting real interested in this arvo and if GFS latest 12z run is anything to go by we will be having a very explosive 48 hrs. Think the whole west half of the state could be nasty and develop into heavy rain areas for later tonight for the east aswell as storms. Won't be absolutely clear skies but should be enough sun for sufficient heating IMO. I'd think 40-50mm for most now but will be highly dependant on storms of course with 70-80mm not out of the question. Very convective rainfall so double what EC is forcasting at least.

Rhino.

Just checked the Nylex again and couldn't believe my eyes! Another 14mm from the last 2 storms brings me to 40mm already today!!!

Surprised to find 10 mm in the gauge this morning (heavy sleeper too...). We missed the storms, or else I really am a heavy sleeper!

Thanks for the link to the radar loop, Geoff.

Working in town these days with a great view to the Macedon Ranges to the NW. Might need to pack the camera for tomorrow

Morning all

Nice storm here in Caulflied overnight, woke with torrential rain.

Today looks nice, especially now that the latest Vis sat pic shows more clearance in the west of the state.

Should see storms develop as soon as heating gets going, very unstable atmosphere so any storms have the potential to go severe today.

Had 7.4mm to 9am here in Laverton/West Sunshine and about the same back home (forgot to check before leaving). Just light rain currently outside.

And of course you guys get the best and most active spring in a long time while I'm in grey drizzly London! So happy for you guys getting something decent though!

Take it from me Elise - it will only get much worse for the next 3 months - hope you packed your thermals

Cloud starting to clear here and feeling the mugginess picking up all the time. Back to calm here. Feels ominous.....

WS 0.5mm which is totally wrong.. (spider web again)

Plastic says 18.5mm

Glad i'm in Perth this morning - the usual commute along the eastern looks like hell:

Yeah, everyone here is saying the same thing - I still can't get over how early it gets dark here - and we're only just at the start! Very jealous of the warm weather you guys are having.

Im in Ballarat this morning and its clearing very fast atm. Almost 1/2 blue sky here now.

PS- does norfolk still use this forum

Sky is clearing to the NW ! Get ready everyone cos it's going to explode !

Yeah WNW is going to go off today. Im awaiting a truck delivery. Should be here hopefully within the hour, then i'll be finished the truck at 1pm.
Then i might be able to squeeze in a sickie this afternoon hopefully.

I am quite excited about today and tomorrow, we had some rumbles here at 5am this morning. I haven't gone on a real storm chase since March so I am very eager for one!

18/16 89% at the moment. Come on Sun, you come out today and its going to be very nice outside....

Got three storms this morning in Rowville. First one woke me up at 3.30am and couldn't sleep after. Second one was the pick at 6am - lots of lightning and heavy rain.
