For those with access to the sounding for Melbourne this shows a classic tropapause dip which indicates this low is fully occluded. It would also suggest that we had a warm frontal feature through Vic yesterday.

Only had 1.5mm over the last couple of days. With next band of rain would really like another 4-5mm, only because I put some more natives in the ground.

I thought I'd get'em in now so they can set there roots before another gruelling hot summer.

Tracker starting to pick up a few strikes to the north, if it was warmer it would be going off. Only 11c here. 0.5mm's since 9am.

Nice convection going up towards the NE of Melbourne at the moment! Must be an indication of how much the temperature is increasing once the mid-level cloud clears. The obs from up around that area are a good 4-5c warmer than they are in the city at the moment, so if we can get some clearance for a while this afternoon we may be in with a decent shot of a storm or two once the temps warm up! If something gets going some of these tops could actually reach a semi decent height too with a bit of heating.

Should see a line of storms develop over the eastern highlands, possibly thundersnow over the alps. This should spread southwest and be around Melbourne between 3-5pm.

That line should hit Melbourne round 3.30pm. Hopefully we might see some action.

DP slowly risen to 9.6C here. Temp up to 13.8C. Come on baby.

Just got back in the office and it is warm out there! Was driving around thinking how warm it was and that it looked and felt like to T/S might be around. And sure enough there they are! Hope that sun stays out for a bit longer.

Edging closer and getting very dark to my N/NE. Hopefully it builds on the back edge, or we get a clear slot after to allow more cells to fire!

Wow, just got my first chance to even look out the window today. EVIL is one word to describe it. Is it normal, for the system to be moving in this direction at this time of year?

massive mamutus preceding the rain, I hadn't looked, pelting here now with hail. Where's the light show? It looks like a massive summer storm, structure wise. Could be an awesome arvo!!

City looks like it's about to be slammed going by the radar, only the odd drop here but wow it looks amazing outside. It's looks like 6pm, very very black.

The low is forming nicely just to the north of Melbourne, and swirling up a decent looking radar, it's also back building which is nice, still raining here with mixed hail, it's switching from light to heavy very quickly. I just keep expecting a flang. It's great to get some action from the NE. Temp has dropped 4c to 12.5c RH and DP's are rising here

Well it looked alot better than it was but cannot complain, and indeed there was some hail but little pea sized pieces that did not last long, light rain now and it is starting to clear up.

Some nice, heavy rain before. Lasted for around 40 minutes. And yes, as everyone else saw, it got verrry dark. I looked out the window and i knew it was about to give us a nice dumping. Looks like more showers are heading our way.
