VIC - trough/cold front, then cold pool - 30/4 - 4/5 2011

[Rivergirl]

Up here in Ferny Creek we've had 0.5mm tonight

[dry]

About 3.5mm in the inner west - radar is underestimating as the rain is quite moderate now.

[Onetahuti]

10.5 mm, the tank is again full

[tonycynic]

7mm here overnight, mostly between 11.30 and 2am. More on the radar but moving slow so someone will be getting some ok totals.

17mm here one of the luckier places in Melbourne and even Victoria for that matter with Melbourne/CBD itself with persistent heavy drizzle alot of the night in a SSE flow

[Rivergirl]

I saw Melbourne got a nice drop overnight. Up here in Ferny Creek up to 6.7mm for the last 24 hrs

[Gordon]

12 mm to 9am here, nothing since. Pushes us over the magic 500 mm ytd.

So it DID provide some meaningfull rain around after all!

33mm in the Macallister catchment above Lake Glenmaggie - which will provide an extension of the environmental flows to the river currently underway (I think for the first time ever, intentional flows I mean).

We had light showers on and off overnight and this morning to provide 5.5mm and an 18C max. Pretty happy with that.

BOM promote the possibility of a SE'ly to establish soon to augment the 5.5mm. I'll believe it when I hear it on the roof because the satloop doesent look that promising to my untrained eye.

Only 3mm in Dunolly and not expecting anymore here.
Still appreciated the dampened soil.

[Jake Smethurst]

Managed 12.2mm to 9am yesterday, and only 0.2mm to 9am this morning.

Otherwise today was fine and partly cloudy, and the sun felt great!! Temp reached a max of 17 today.

[Karl Lijnders]

12mm here overnight in a very nice and useful drop of rain. Really freshened things up.

Should see around 5mm this week over southern areas as a couple of weak cold fronts come up from the SW. Then another fairly stable period. I am tipping the last big high before major cold front action so enjoy it.

[Petros]

Another 4.75mm here last night and this morning provides a total of 10.25mm for this thread. Very handy, and wouldnt rule out a shower or two to add another couple mm's tonight either.

[Petros]

... and on cue another 3mm rain late last night fell to bring an event tally of 13.25. Not too shabby at all!

[Lily]

Nice one, Petros Bit chilly tonight, had a good shower pass through earlier this evening was quite heavy and a reminder that winter is definitely on it's way.
