Thanks Nick

Thank you Nick.

The Aurora Australis put on a fantastic display from Cape Woolamai at 5am this morning.Oh what a morning! With the big moon setting at 3am i decided to set my alarm for 2:30am with the aim of being ready for aurora at 3am. Unfortunately cloud was thick so i had to make a call on what i do? i could see a clear patch towards Phillip Island so made the 30 minute drive to my old favorite location Cape Woolamai. So happy i did! over the next 3 hours the aurora went bonkers! First time shooting from Cape Woolamai in around 5 years' was great to be back.
Feel free to share 👍

Ta Nick appreciate your update.

A break from the intensity for awhile. 😊👍

That little green patch in the far south west would be considered ’extreme’ rainfall compared to what’s been falling lately!!

Was a beautiful day today, metro and up in the hills.

But yet Channel 9 said the the weather bureau come up and said we are going to get a warm winter 😂😂😂

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Nick

Back into our 10mth winter cycle, oh goodie

Wow snow!!!! 17 degrees at Kyneton, hoping we get snow this year later on.

I read that as 'strangest' and was wondering what was strange about it. I mean, I know Victorias weather can be a bit nuts sometimes. Tired and no glasses.

Cathryn pack those bags and let’s move to anywhere but Vic!

Popped up on my memories this morning lol.

Looks beautiful

Look at that beautiful blue sky though.

Expected low of 2 in Wangaratta tonight! Brrr!

So excited!

Beautiful

A cold front will cross Victoria late today, reaching Melbourne in the evening with light W to NW’ly winds shifting colder SW’ly.

Isolated showers ahead of a band of rain reaching the southwest in the afternoon, central parts at night.

Rainfall totals 2-10mm near/south of the ranges, 5-20mm across East Central and Gippsland districts. Snow level about 1300m with snow flurries expected over the Alpine region.

The cold front clears the east early on Tuesday morning, leaving a cold, moderate to fresh S to SW’ly across the State.

The remainder of the week will be cool with on and off showers across the State, especially in the south.

Just hit Yarra Glen . Thanks for this

Melbourne Storm Chasers were we expecting this much rain? It hasn't stopped in the hills since I got home at 5pm.

Who's been fooling with the Summer switch......Took all summer to get it working now it's broke again ! 🙁

Hopefully a bit of rain to keep the garden going.

11:55AM SATURDAY - The latest radar scan from Weatherzone shows areas of rain in the north/east with showers elsewhere. Rainfall totals of 40-80mm are possible in far East Gippsland with moderate SE’ly winds tending clockwise around the low.

Thunderstorms are possible over the northeastern and eastern parts of the State this afternoon and early evening. Thunderstorms are associated with a deepening low over southern NSW that will move south east over East Gippsland this evening and then into the Tasman Sea during Sunday. #vicweather

Is this for tomorrow, Sunday, or today?

Typical Melbourne weather… let’s see what sunday is going to be like.

Had a good clean up in the garden so it can rain anytime now 💧

Nothing for the western suburbs 😏😒

This image pretty much sums up the story of how much rain fell during the overnight period across the central forecast district, including Melbourne.

The GFS model was on the money of where the most significant rainfall totals would occur.

Some of the highest rainfall totals since 9am Monday include:

● 75mm at Ferny Creek
● 68mm at Malmsbury
● 68mm at Avalon Station
● 64mm at Scoresby
● 64mm at Pound Creek
● 61mm at Frankston

How much rain did you receive? 💦
