A thread about rain and no other things

Mt Buller was 40 mm to 9 am and 26 since, not looking like stopping any time soon, but luckily not torrential - yet. Finger in the wind says if it’s still raining at this rate past midnight we might see a spill of Eildon at several 10s of k MLday over the weekend. I’d guess inflows could get towards 30-50k ML /day, and there’s only about 50-60 k ML spare room to FSL now (I think).

The orographic effect of the divide that is giving Kilmore etc so much grief seems to be shadowing Melbourne a fair bit.

Watching the radar all day and there is just something lifting the rain over the south / eastern suburbs.

The ground is actually drying out my way.

not seeing much on the radar that there is going to be this massive rain event in Metro Melb between 5pm-7pm

looks not much different than this morning

May not be a direct hit but the potential is there.

Crisp saying to expect 6-8 weeks of this.
If coaches are replacing most V line trains, how are they getting through on the roads?

Radar is lining up one last knockout punch for Seymour area - and may skip then toward the Eildon area. Still a bit to play out but it’s getting worse before it gets better.

Largely dry until Hawthorn where it started to rain. By the time I got to Camberwell, it was hosing.

Looking good for some laps at Phillip Island (turn 3).
