Victoria: Late summer cool/cold snap Feb 18 to 21 2014

[Australis(Shell3155)]

first little Teaser had hail,
Coming down now, water starting to lay around on the bare patches of earth (lawn).
Filling my tanks nicely..

[SC.]

Plenty of thunder and lightning, heaven here with 5.2mm and more to come....

[Onetahuti]

Sun is shining after 7mms.

[Geoff]

6.5mm from that intense little storm, added to 3mm earlier gives 9.5mm so far, a good start.

[nafets]

Looks amazing out east!!!!! Wait for north of Melbourne to explode soon...

[Lara_Hunter]

Flooding in Geelong, unconfirmed reports of 45mm in 40 minutes???? (seems insane?). Skilled Stadium under water and looks like tonights game may be scratched.

[Geoff]

Interesting doppler signature from that right moving black core south of Ballan.

I believe it Lara_Hunter, some pretty intense cells went through there. I'm actually not to far from you, here in Wyndham Vale.
Apparently at the local private station we collected 11.7mm. We hardly get any rain and that's a good drink for us to say the least. I'm sure your familiar with that in Lara.

[Australis(Shell3155)]

44mm......WOW. HB.
little over 10mm sitting in my plastic,
let this bit soak in and Im happy with some more in a hour or so..
Was great watching the low black clouds just hover over head earlier..
One day I'll get lightening hitting those towers, if only life let you just sit and watch..
Geelong saying 54.2mm.

The cell that went over Geelong looked like it contained very heavy rainfall ... so not surprised by the reports there. We've put up a photo on our Facebook page of Simonds stadium being flooded. Good work from the team here in warning about thunderstorms potentially causing flooding today.

re: dogs vs saints at Kadinia Park, they are saying on the radio the game will still go ahead, but look at this?!

as for us today, had a brief storm about 1hour ago, will be cold and showery tonight. Thus far 3mm.

[Dane]

Plenty of thunder here about an hour ago but only 3mm's of rain.
Looks like we will get some more later, certainly hope so.

[Andy]

My garage has been flooded massively and a little in the house. We will be right, could be worse. Lucky all my work equipment was above ground level......

[dagget]

7mm for us and looking like lots more to come here

[Wilko]

Looks like its loosing its mojo from the NW
I thing the next round will come from the SW
See showers from Cape Otway
C'mon bay effect !!!

[Thunderclap]

Steady rain for over an hour always seem to do well when the band positions itself in this way NW-SE and already climbed up to 10.5mm

Our forecasts have been updated on our website, which all can be seen here: http://theaustralianweatherforum.com/victoria.html. Our video forecast can also be seen on our Youtube page or Facebook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLu-VE1 ... e=youtu.be.

You're right Wilko ... apart from this next band moving across the bay and into the eastern suburbs, the next lot will be in the form of cold-air showers and thunderstorms, which will come up from the southwest. Bay should certainly make things interesting for the eastern and southeast suburbs tonight and tomorrow. Winds will also pick up overnight and tomorrow morning, reaching gale force at times near the coast and strong elsewhere.

13mm here with the heaviest fall around 30 mins ago, 6mm in 10mins and backyard was like a lake for a small time although radar only showing blue on radar, but around 3 times what the consensus of models were forecasting here so pretty wrapped :Dand did get some small hail earlier as well. All in all a good day and hoping for another 2 or 3mm to come. Good to see some nice falls around in patches and lets hope it's the start of something.
