Some storms popping up over the W district. Not over yet it seems.

US has -3 LIs over Melbourne this evening. Locally there could be 20mm about from any organised storm.

Getting dark to my West.. ESE seabreezes converging with the Westerly winds will aid in helping this covective stuff to develop quite warmish out there

Email from our Ops Manager at work, we're going to have some grumpy clients:

There have been delays due to flooding/landslides between Adelaide and Perth, Melbourne and Perth, Melbourne to Brisbane and also around North Queensland. Add to this the derailment between Adelaide and Darwin which although open now is causing long delays.

Queanbeyan has now been flooded overnight and may cause delays between Sydney and Canberra.

Not good Lily

Just had 6 drops falls out of the sky literally then stopped

[Bobman]

Very light drops in the Moorabbin area at the moment but looks to be abating.

[nafets]

Well, stupid telstra out of all days had to make our internet down for 2 days. Flash flooding yesterday arvo, with 30mm on the dot for yesterday.

[Supercellimpact]

Nice storm near colac guys.

[Lily]

And some activity popping up over Meredith too

[solcampbell]

Plenty of dark clouds rolling over Geelong at the moment. No rain as yet but looking somewhat ominous..

[Hamlan]

Cells going up over the northern and north eastern suburbs since 4.45pm. One very nice punchy cell thats going to drift over the ranges caught my eye as I drove home as its white tops expanded rapidly upward and outward!

[Supercellimpact]

That cell near colac has a red core!!

[Supercellimpact]

Convection from cape otway all the way up to bendigo!!

[Hamlan]

Yep and showing signs of turning left. No CG lightning though. I'm thinking it would be nicely structured with the shear clearly keeping the precip away from the updraft. Would need a hard turn to go toward Geelong but who knows.....

Edit: may have just gone through a split visible on BOM radar.

[Supercellimpact]

Bigger cell near Lara heading torwards Avalon airport.

[occluded]

Light rain just started in the CBD. Large grey cloud over the CBD but patchy cloud outside the city area.

[BigBen]

Rather heavy rain failing in Prahran. Where did that come from?

And in moments it's gone.

[mick]

People be going troppo soon if this keeps up.

Nice and dark over frankston & south atm, all pretty high compared to last few days.

[ckeenan]

some thunder here in Laverton with heavy rain

[Ausmammal]

Going to be a suprise to people these storms approaching Melbourne and the bay suburbs. I don't think it was expected to come the late, or was it?

PS: 8th Dec: Belgrave 19.6mm, Upwey: 20.6mm, me awaiting patiently for my weather station ordered yesterday
