Gee. SES feed touting up to 70 mm for the west / Sw parts overnight. I would assume some of that load is from the tropical activity feeding in.
SES warning here

Hi Ruckle. Great to have someone posting from VIC 😍

I am a part timer in VIC. I visit our old property near Maryborough a few times a year. So l take an interest in weather especially in the central west of the state. I like to see if the water tank is filling
The news said wild storms in the SW on saturday. Yesterday.
Weatherzone reporting on that event. Some significant hail and Warrnambool had 47mm .
Here is the report with an ice pic’ as well

Hot NNW streaming over VIC ahead of a change around 5 am tomorrow morning. Australia Day. A nice relief for those enjoying a get together tomorrow.
1.30pm and it’s 41 in Shepparton. Around 38 deg c in Melbourne .
Judging by the look of the rain band on the wind change line tomorrow morning. I suspect Australia Day will be heralded in by a line of thunderstorms.

Nice rain/storm event for Victoria tomorrow.
Has a tropical infeed from the Nw . So some humidity.
The wide rain band sweeps over the west of the state sunrise tomorrow morning and intensifies during the morning as it moves eastward.
The snap below is for 8 am where there appears to be a downpour in the central region

Family down in Castlemaine Nth central reported a quick deluge which caused flooding in her business. Saw a picture on the news this morning of a pharmacy in Bendigo which had a lot of water damage.
BOM 24 hr rainfall showing they had 30 mm so it must of all came quickly.
Noticing that west central had much higher totals.
46 mm at Maryborough, Mount William grampians 68mm
Tanks will be full.

Looks like Victoria got hit again with some decent rain. I saw news reports of flooding. The BOM rainfall map shows widespread rain with central and North east areas copping the best.
Mount Buffalo 134mm !🤩

We are down in west Victoria currently . We have a a mini heat wave . ( weather news terminology on TV)It has been hot and dry for the past 5 days. Weak trough has arrived with cloud to hopefully temper the temp’ today.
We have had no Vodaphone for a week as Vodaphone has had problems with their provider. They have allowed free cancellation of our contract phone and all. Now with Telstra again and internet working fine.
Possibility of a wet stormy event here this Friday with a tropical dip in isobars bring tropical moisture down as far as VIC. One to watch as giving eastern states chance of rain.28245C84-234C-46EB-A913-10791AD3A7EB.png

Finally a cool change has arrived after 6 days over 33 deg c here near Maryborough.
Melbourne is expected to be in the low 20’s for the last week of summer. At bit further inland and BOM forecast has Maryborough max temps’ between 20 and 26 this working week.
Noticing BOM forecast not showing rain event impacting Maryborough? this Friday. Will check ACCESS again tomorrow.
Possible models not agreeing.

Trough line is going to lie east of central and west VIC so rain event cancelled
Parts of NSW on the trough line likely to see some stormy rain activity.

I hate the Victorian summer. Low humidity, dry in the west makes for hot and oven like. We are off the grid with no air con’ so the spray water bottle and breeze is our Savior.
Dew point at 5 deg c here at 5pm. Quite a brisk NE to assist the evaporative cooling
Access shows moisture from central Oz inland low moving to the SE this week but unfortunately looks to miss the west Vic.
Let’s see

Ooooh!
An upgrade for us in west Vic for the next 3 days .
70% chance of between 14 to 40 mm. Thunderstorms possible any time in the day.
This will be a hit or miss the storm cloud event.
We did well a few weeks ago from storms with 30 mm from 2 storms.
I haven’t checked synoptic etc to explain why .
but maybe tomorrow as l spy the radar,
Amazing. This was not on the forecast yesterday?
I can’t wait to be refreshed. The oven here today is criminal.🤪

According to BOM synoptic. Most of Australia is within a low pressure zone with a number of embedded lows scattered.
West Victoria has an embedded low currently generating max’ diurnal thunderstorms.

http://www.bom.gov.au/au...ptic_col_satellite.shtml

They are moving from the west of the state toward the south. A NE feeding into one side of trough line and SW into the other side.
This event is expected to last 3 days so l expect the trough line is stalling.
Extensive storm lines in the west Vic currently at 3pm

I reckon we should hear our first rumbles of thunder within the hour.
Radar showing front line only 70 km away from our location.
The NE ly has just started to crank

Today trough line stalled near the SA border.
Storms only starting to pop up now 3.30pm on radar

Nice to have the rainbow radar installed now so that we can

Finally on our way touring and camping
A hot day at Tocumwal on the border but a nice swim in the Murray our Savior.
TheMurray is currently quite swollen atm no doubt fro the storm feat the past week or two or maybe they’re just released more water from the storage weirs
Very green in the NE with many paddocks flooded

The wind cranked at 2pm and late into the evening.
Very strong indeed but we missed the storms to our N NE.
