The Australian Weather Forum

Very active sequence coming up with a front a day for the next few days. Trough with quite a lot of instability for Friday, sharp front for Saturday, another for Sunday, then a strong wet front for Monday. The link to the tropics isn’t great, but there looks to be sufficient moisture for plenty of showers the odd storm, and rain. Towards the end of the system it gets quite cold so snow on the ranges.

Have been a pretty quite couple of weeks so hopefully this is the start of more activity. The pacific is now borderline La Niña based on relative indices so drivers are getting more compatible.

Btw keep an eye on the skies next couple of nights. Big solar flare yesterday which should give a good aurora display. Night sky is dark atm, so just need to clear air.

Hmmm, I can't see more than 10mm here.

Our first 20C day here since autumn - quite spring-like!

4mm overnight with main rainband. That might be it for us.

1mm here from a very dry & shredded rainband.
Anyone know if there's still thunderstorm potential for central Vic today?
Severe storms in our BOM forecast this morning, and lots of talk about central Vic storms on the various news forecasts last night, but I can't see it?

Rubbish system so far here. Nothing but windy filth.

Spoke too soon! Line of storms has appeared on the radar west of Geelong, although so far too far south for us.

Just 0.2mm's of Rain from a light shower about 5am this morning
Otherwise a windy and Partly cloudy day here Sebastopol.
Reached 21.7c - Airport Max was 21.0c.
Last Month Rain was 44.3mm's for me 44.8mm's at the Airport
Long term average for September is 70.4mm's
4 of the last 5 months have been well below average.

Short sharp shower.

Just a few spits down here. Never was gonna be much in the first front for southern Tasmania. Good to see some rumbles in Victoria.

Today is messy with lots of showers, maybe the odd rumble. Patchy but affecting most parts of the southeast.

Mondays front is looking nice and cold.

Seems was messy in melb,
10mm plus at FTG.

The WS at Howes Creek is no longer up and running,
Closest said 2.37mm, even got wet under pine tree plantation..

Thursday and Friday was amazing weam sunny breezy loved it spring and summer is here

Thunderstorms last night was also good with a nice light show and it was warm and humid loved it

Wintery 3 or 4 days with showers gusty winds and cool to cold then warming up again but no big soaking rains in outlook.

Zilch here despite the constant forecast for rain…

Absolutely pouring down in Templestowe atm.

Inner Bayside suberbs copping it now
Frequent rumbles

Wet wet wet here with flangs galore from this latest line. Scored a black core. Easy 6-8mm in it here

SO MUCH hail, lots of flash bangs, torrentail rain belted down so good

19mm in 15 mins from the strom now more rain incoming

Go north of the ranges dont need it here

LOVE SPRING SUMMER

Though this with another 10c Temp and Dp woulda being amazing bit chilly now

was a lot of hail and thunder here in Boronia just now, yet apparently a few km down the road toward FTG there was no hail at all....

FTG
Yesterday 10mm
Today 29.79 already,

Cracking event for east central. Remarkable. Not much at the surface but nice little upper trough made all the difference.

Not Tassies event. Just 1mm here so far.

Today is a bit of an inbetween day, with strong front for tomorrow. Snow levels with that will get into the subalpine in Tas and around the peaks in Victoria.
