Can just make out the cells within the haze from my position in Caulfield, looks quite nice, more development to the NNW of me which has me more interested for this area.

Can make out those same cells as Nick and agree the area to the NW has me more interested. BoM issuing a STW as well.

Eastern suburbs cell looks really good , although moving pretty quick! New cell dropping rain now near sunbury so it's a good sign of things to come hopefully . Steamy in the CBD now and lots of Cu everywhere !

That Cb looks pretty good from my location. just took a pic of it actually.
Unfortunatly it looks though it may slide just east of us ATM, currently 28/16 here.
