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.

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 !
