1st lightning and thunder here so far with a massive pownpour to boot. WOO HOO

A little cell passing to the West of Sale - lots of rumblings, I've seen a few flashes. Drops of rain starting now

Looking at radar hopefully will soon get more than the very isolated drop of rain. Having said that would like a bit of a break in the morning as I have a working bee to attend.

Thunder here A few rumbles now, and abitta lightning.

looks like the next band is weakening a lot as at moves south. getting on and off drizzel here. Barely enough to wet the ground, but enough to make it feel sticky. Lots of dark clouds aorund the north, but seems not to be producing a huge amount of rain.

OMG 8mm of rain in mentone from mad cell that is friggin severe!!!!!

WOW, it's a squally bugger and it's chucking it down, with some small hail too. A few CG's to boot. It's so unstable it's on again off again, it's going to be a nasty night I think.

Had 2mm here in a very sharp short Very heavy downpour

CBD in the firing line for the next hour or so.
Could rack up 15-20mm depending on severity of cells.

Looks like Frankston through to Wonthaggi are copping an absolute pounding. Wish I was down in Wilsons Prom. Looks like it is all going to pass straight through there nicely over the bay.

and finally getting rain at my end of bentleigh east...

a few large rumbles as well

Getting smashed here ATM in Burwood. The cell got organised just before hitting us and has brought torrential rain, lightning, thunder and some good outflow gusts

Rog.

for all you Melbournites just to let you know Ballarat's Anti-Thunderstorm shield is working well. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr typical.

holy crap 9mm of rain in under 5 min, at one point could hardly see across the road

3mm here.. What I get should go be similar in the City if anything probably more there as the cell seem to intensified as it went SSE

starting to hear loud rumbles here in lysterfield now. not anticipating much close to me, but some nice deep rumbles are always welcome.

How much did u get Tizza from that cell?

Had a quick shower from the back end of a cell, nothing registered.

True John, but going by Wolfs post of 9mm in 5 and Ryhll (11mm), it can happen!
