What way is that ??

Look at the 256 images on Yarrawonga radar and you will get a good idea of what is happening. Melbourne radar is not working properly.

thunder now. very loud.. wow did not expect this. was sunny just 5 mins ago

foxtel weather channel has now no signal lol

Thanks Gabby. I have just checked Yarrawonga, and its much better.

I don't have much of a view here, being single level, but looking out the west and north windows we have patches of light blue sky. Radar, although wonky, is indicating that most has passed us for Melbourne. However I am watching that Daylesford activity with interest.

Gabby it looks to be weakening on radar as it gets closer to you o r am i reading it wrong.

good steady rain and rolling thunder here @ q

You are right Pete. That is how it looks on the radar right now.
BoM says about this radar site
"Being a "C Band" radar, if there are large thunderstorms in the area, the radar may not be able to determine accurately the strength of additional storms located behind the closest storms."
So I am hoping that this is the case. I am so storm deprived that even a small rumble with some CC lightning would do me.

well as being a North Queenslander.....it has treated me to my first hail experience....small and only a little bit but still Hail

The clouds seem to be moving fast and have some wind in them!

Feeling quite pleased with little 'ol me atm
I got this one right.
Got some good video of the lightning. Camera stopped a couple of times right when some awesome strikes hit though
Never mind ....off to sift through the video I've got...if any good I'll YouTube it and give ye all the link.

Interesting they have taken a big line off storm warning area. Is this because they expect the storms to die out before getting that far? Kind of strange considering that is the direction they are moving!

By looking at the radar atm, I'd say they need to mention a warning for nearly all the areas. Check out that beautiful long line covering all the way from northern vic to the very south....

i dont understand how the new stw was issued at 447 showing the severe cell offshore from mornington and approaching when at that time it was already well and truly overhead at mornington. surely that is dangerous? especially when the cell that was overhead was brown?

Fun times on the way home, nice flang or two in the West Melbourne area. My rain total looks to have passed double figures and its still raining with occasional rumbles.

btw 8.8 mm here @ q for this show. wonder if we will get a small second show for the cell behind. dvc

can not believe how small this cell started off as and look how big it is now. weather is so awesome when its unpredictable

No warnings from BOM as yet for our area, but I see some activity headed toward Melton or Sunbury, not sure if it is building or dissipating. Think I will take an each way bet on this hitting me.

Green stuff on the radar should be yellow around CBD

Why? 0.2mm in last 15 minutes is hardly ripping it up.

so now the melbourne radar starts working again
