Well the inland trough will provide some focus for thunderies for the next few days. General consensus of the models is a chance out east particularly on the ranges today and tomorrow and then the west is a chance Sunday. Activity looks to quieten down for a day or so after that (although its not impossible that it wont) but it should give us a border on this thread.

Anyway somewhere for thunderbob to post his obs as he will probably have a reasonable view compared to the rest of us for the next day or so!


For those not getting storms in the south, looks kind of muggy.

been waiting....as strong SE wind is blowing to SA as looks the trough is siting from NSW VIC

Not excited by this setup at all. Storms will probably be too far north east today and tomorrow and too far west on Sunday. It has been pretty dry and boring up here since Xmas and that looks set to continue for a while yet.

Yeah the uppers may be getting quite warmish over central and western parts. But for our friends out east will have something to see. Got an STW on my phone just a little while ago for the high country storm.

Some (reasonable) activity on the Divide again today. On the coast and up to the foothills it's still (in early afternoon) a layer of flat coastal cloud extending from west of Melb nearly to Mallacoota. Cells are forming north of that on the Divide - showing up well on the sat image. No sign yet of this coastal cloud burning off here.

They definitely fired up north of the border.

Remained (as above) all day here. No activity west or south of Omeo. (By radar) there was lots of sustained activity in the far east and, of course, (as dlcat1 says)the continuing quite spectacular storm activity on and around the Monaro.

Felt very promising at Loy Yang lunchtime, very warm humid, overcast and calm. But by 4pm, still overcast but temps and humidity had backed off to be similar to Melbournes lunchtime obs.

Hoping to see some lightning tomorrow evening.

Developing into a mild summer eh?

Thermometer under back verandah reached 40C today.

Jeez thunderunder! - surely with circa 20+% humidity as well! This is an interesting summer for us Vics.

Didn't get over 20 today, very good conditions for my first match of the year today

Tennis?

Well other than cloud and murk burning off in Melbourne (unlike today) Saturday looks like a carbon copy of today. Bit of build up and even some action out east and thats about it. Sunday looking less convincing for the west / or anywhere for that matter but heres hoping...

looks heaps of moist slowy going down from NW Victoria...

Yep, I reckon the temperature could be a few degrees lower like today depending on what time the cloud starts to break up, if it only breaks up at 2 then it might only get to 25 or so.

Interesting to see that its slightly warmer and damper than yesterday morning. As for the temps today in Melbourne, think closeness to bay might matter a bit.Eastern highlands still looking active this arvo.

have low clouds blowing from SE but NE wind is kind of burn it off slowly

Few clouds around but burn off not rising into the upper level at all.

Cloud breaking up slowly here. Had a light but steady 20 min rain about 2pm. Radar shows some activity right up on the Divide but seems no strong development.

well storms in NE and when sun goes down then cool breeze SE wind blow inland once North East wind weaken
