You're not wrong Wes, had another 6mm overnight to bring total to 12.5mm for the event. Not too bothered if we get more, but expecting possibly 20-30 more over the next few days - as others have said, GFS has been bang on so far, no reason why it should be wrong for next part of sequence...

Agree with wobbie. It seems to be localised here. We have had 15mm for this event with most of that falling on Tuesday and we are 20mins from Gembrook. It would be very boring if we all had the same thing to reportrychenroller wrote:Kinda disagree, 35 mm since yesterday morning, its barely stopped but barely gotten heavy either. Seems like that over this side anyway.wobbie wrote:Scored 40+mm here including yesterday evening's storm. It seems the rain is quite localised. If you're lucky enough to get under a heavy patch, as we have been, the total shoots up fast. The radar is looking ominous with all that widespread light stuff. The humidity is awful, something's got to give surely the heavens are about to open up all over the place.

Spoke to Stormybloke, 12mm in the manual gauge (weather station is stuffed again...) since he last checked it, but had 14.5mm for the year so far.stormygirl wrote:I woke to pouring rain here in Flinders this morning, but I won't check the gauge until 9am. Nothing recorded at home yet, and closest Wunderground station supports this...would have thought I'd have something by now... (must be because Karl is elsewhere!).
I'll let you know how much we've had here in about 40mins.
The rain continues in Flinders, 21C and had 25mm here since 9am yesterday. I guess it's another day playing Monoploy or Cluedo...

That is sheer madness. Will have decimated their daily record 5 fold!VRB20G45 wrote:Jeparit now the highest in the State to 9am with 161mm!

And quite possibily another 100mm to come that way next 48 hours which would pass it half way their annual average already for 2011 2 weeks into the Year

Wow at these totals getting racked up!! 101mm Horsham also. Heaps of places over 40mm just from overnight.

60mm for the event so far, just went outside and heard the unmistakeable roll of distant thunder.
Light rain continues.

Closing in on 100 mm for the event here: another 46 mm to 9am & a further 10.5 mm since. GFS of a couple of days ago doesn't seem so outlandish any more!
Melbourne Radar seems to be down?

101mm for Horsham and 134mm Mt William and with all the downstream lakes 100% , GMW water will have a job on its hands. They will probably stuff it up again

Starting to see clearance now, should be a very interesting afternoon coming up, might yet see some serious rain through East Central.

Yep AV, could get very messy by mid arvo if we get some clearance. Bit of a convergence band running almost N-S from Ballarat-Swanhill, worth watching. Macallums Ck here just under 3m now, was only 45cm high yesterday arvo, risen around 2.5m overnight.

52mm here for the 24hr to 9am this morning. 48mm of that overnight. Not quite the 161mm that Jeparit got but certainly starting to see the potential of this system translate into results. Hopefully no Toowoomba like stories coming from the Grampians and Wimmera regions today, I haven't checked the news.

Looking at the sky to the north and it's so heavy with convection, we could see some serious flash flooding this afternoon, moisture is sheer madness.
