Victoria: Rain/storm event - 6th-10th December 2010 (Obs)

[Anthony Violi]

Cells starting to fire near Swan Hill, hoipefully that can translate South as we get some clearance closer to our West.

Any towers Harley?

Interesting scuds keep forming over the bay, but just shifted out of view - so not sure if still occuring - can anyone see out to the bay?

yep, just grab a photo of it..

will upload shortly

[HarleyB]

No, not that I see, cloud has formed again though. Disorganised Cu to the far away NW

My confidence is quickly fading as well.

Looking out West from docklands over the bay (can see spirit in the distance. Excuse quality - I now know that zoom on the iphone should be avoided

My confidence is quickly fading as well.

Let me rephrase that, it was quickly fading until mid levels started exploding.

Edit: Anyone who has sun out let us know if surface convection develops. If it does Nth Central could see another 50mm.

Actually just looking around here at home theres blue sky now and theres Cu going up W to the N time will tell if it gets going but theres some potential there though.

Getting pretty dark to the west.

Nice wind change just came through here in Lakes Entrance. Went from a lovely warm northerly to a strong, cool westerly. The kind where all the doors suddenly slam around the house. Now it's much warmer inside. Interesting scud flying around and I'm hoping for a flash/bang or two *crosses fingers.*

[Supercellimpact]

Getting convective, it's now raining !

[Supercellimpact]

What the hell is raining moderatly and not on radar?!?

[adon]

Well got home to a lake where the paddocks used to be...maybe a little dramatic but it's bloody wet now. A little over 80mm since monday with a little over 50mm last night so we just need to have a break now. Water over the roads in a lot of spots now and the tyrell creek is flowing quite hard(only flows when the avoca floods). Just had a stray rumble off to the NE which yet again sent the dog under the verandah(she really should move there full time!)

[I_Love_Storms]

WOW! Just gone black.

That is crazy, just saw some of the best lifting I have seen, I change my mind, things could get ugly very quickly

[HarleyB]

Is that band around Cohuna-Kerang similar to what we saw form this morning over our area? Or will it turn into what we saw or whatever?

[Lily]

Harley, if you go to the 512km Mildura radar, you can see the line, it's well over into NSW but is only just starting to show on Melbourne radar, I think this is the one that developed much earlier around Broken Hill area. I've been watching it and it looks like a line from Pooncarie in NSW through to around Birchip/Swan Hill area.

[stratospear]

That band is more a narrow convergence band. It just passed over here and now rain has stopped. Some more rain possibly to follow.

[Meso]

What the hell is raining moderatly and not on radar?!?

Not even drizzling here

Radar looking good tho with a few sparks starting to spread through the NW.

[Supercellimpact]

Was about 10-15 mins ago and I live in north bendigo so maybe a very isolated heavy shower.

[Karl Lijnders]

Nice roll cloud as it came across. Pity no storm attached.

Should see a further 5mm over southern areas. 20-50mm over the north and northeast.
