Lovely 24c but cold nights is still going..

Fine sunny calm 21.5C here today.

Fine sunny calm 21C here today after a 4C start.

We lucked out with prolonged period under a thin NW'ly rainband that managed to hold together for our side of the ranges overnight - provided a surprising 6mm of rain

5mm in Sale P, OK on the day.

Third sunny day in a row here (22C here today). Mornings are still fresh, wont plant any tomatoes until next week passes.

1.5mm from early morning showers, a wind free cold change here. Cold overcast with a light westerly here atm.

Only a brief break from the anticyclonic gloom in N Gippsland today late morning, then it returned to a light but cold easterly for the remainder of the day to now. Baro steady on 1015hPa (with higher pressure in place south of Vic for the first time this season!), I reckon easterly drizzle may arrive tonight given the trough that extends down from QLD to NE Vic (if it dips down further). Only 12.5C outside atm - cold, and heaters back on.

28c here today

Like this site for wind forecast, very handy for sailors/cyclists etc etc -

Yep a brilliant bit of software. Also displays SST well too.

Lovely spring morning here - the bees in the garden are having a ball.

Touched 25C here for the first time this season, also the seabreeze season arrived.

Perfectly calm here this morning, so unusual after windy stuff
lately.

Touched 25C here for the second time this season, a light seabreeze arrived again. Perfect spring day.

Yet another perfect sunny spring morning here.

Loving the new detailed storm forecasts from BOM

For today

Thunderstorms are possible in parts of western Victoria this afternoon and evening. Showers and a few thunderstorms are likely to develop early to mid afternoon, chiefly in the Southwest before possibly coalescing into a broken line or lines associated with a weak upper trough and advancing eastward during the evening while slowly weakening. Some gusty winds are possible however probability of severe weather appears low at this stage. A second risk area for thunderstorms in the afternoon and early evening exists in the far east. Here slow storm motion may give a threat for heavy rainfall although the risk is insufficient to delineate a "severe possible" area. Similarly a third risk area in South Gippsland sees convergent sea breezes into the Strzelecki Ranges area this afternoon with slow storm motion possible, should storms form.


Tomorrow

A trough of low pressure should cross the State during Tuesday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, mainly in the afternoon near and east of the trough. High moisture levels and large directional turning could provide sufficient shear for severe thunderstorms chiefly in parts of the Mallee and Northern Country during the afternoon. The primary threat would be heavy rain with some chance of large hail or damaging wind depending on surface insolation and storm organisation. The evolution of the trough is somewhat uncertain and as such a greater degree of uncertainty regarding the storm threat exists than is usual. The southern extent of the threat will be strongly impacted by the degree of surface heating achieved during the day.

29.5C in Orbost at 0330hrs today (Fri 2/11)

Now that's ridiculous !

Looks like we are into a cool spell until next week? - hopefully the models come up with the chance of a storm during Mon-Wed's next cold front.

Looks like plenty of action over on the SA side of the border. Hope it holds it's strength as it moves into Central VIC later on tonight. Would love to see a good light show.

Looks like move in West Victoria early than chart expected.
