Re: Victoria: Wintry fronts with Showers. October 12th to 17th 2009

Finished with 15mm for the day yesterday with about 11mm overnight in that one small band of showers. Was incredible!!!

Drizzling still out there now and fairly cloudy. The cloudier it stays the better it is for runoff.

Might see a 1-2% rise this week alone.

More showers this afternoon (2mm) resulting in six consecutive days of rainfall. Do not remember the last time that happened. Dams filling nicely, rising 4,500+ ML in the last 24 hours. Now at 36.1% and suspect a couple of percent more by this time next week.

Further 0.5mm yesterday overnight. Looks to be pretty much all cleared and will be a nice sunny arvo.

Bit of a mixed bag this system (http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDV60004.html). Best falls (over 100mm) included Rocky Valley (Falls Creek 126mm), Mt Buffalo 122mm, Weeaproinah 105mmm, Mt Baw Baw 96mm. A few of the hydro stations also got around 100mm (Mt Gregory, Upper Lang Lang).

Melbourne ranges from 5mm at Melbourne Ap to 40-70mm totals from the Dandenongs down to Phillip Island.
