Northern part of Bendigo is getting smashed atm. Storm developed quickly and is moving from NE to SW. Not sure if we'll get much.
1.4mm here overnight with a couple of showers. Cloudy with a northerly wind today. I think we may struggle a bit here today with possible rain shadowing, unless the northerly wind calms down. Looks like western areas of the state have had some of the best from this setup so far.
Total Totals of 52 and Lifted Index of -3.6 on most recent sounding for Melbourne. Won’t be surprised to see some storms popping up this afternoon again, just a matter of luck if you get under one.
Sorry been slow on the posts of late. We’ve been doing well here with this system so far. On Sunday we were surrounded by some fairly intense slow moving storms and whilst we missed most of them, we still managed 6mm.
Here’s a photo of one of the cells that sat over Thorpdale, which was throwing out a lot of bolts over Trafalgar:
Then this morning we had 10mm in a heavy shower which had a flash of lightning and thunder as it arrived. Cleared up to a very steamy and sweaty arvo.
Been a really damp couple of days in southern Tasmania. Cloud base at about 150m with very moist northeast to southeast flow. Rained nearly nonstop here for 36 hours. Spitting at times, other times quite heavy. Just on 20mm on the gauge. Increases rapidly with elevation with around 50mm at 200m and round 100mm above 500m. Grass is now lush and green and tanks topped up again
We continue to do well here. I just tipped out 21.75mm, so another 11.75mm since my last post. We had a real heavy storm roll through around 3am which woke up the kids and caused the gutters to overflow, followed by light rain afterwards.
Low cloud hung around all day. Barely made it to 20c. Looks like an equinox-shift in the weather next week - a few hot days and then a cold SW change...
