VIC: Low Pressure System (10/2-12/2 2012)

[Ausmammal]

Spoke to my brother near Nyora, near lang lang and he said they had large hail in the first storm.
What is the yellow spot amongst all the blue on BOM doppler radar near the end of Cranbourne word at 7.19 to 7.30pm. Looks sinister! Black core on 128km rain radar too.

That cell is crazy. Red and black has been hitting that area for over 90 minutes. There must be very severe flooding and very high totals.

Its not showing on radar but there is a big black cloud above me and its raining, its moved from the east and will cross the bay in half an hour, its slow.

[Ausmammal]

Getting a little wind here and i did get one spot of rain about 5 mins ago and saw some clouds moving from the east towards me

welcome to 1989 everyone.

Cold cored storms with an upper low, moving at snails pace. Mid level global temps plummeting, upper troughs ramping up again.

The sky outside right now is seriously scary. Towers just getting bigger due to the enormous cold air aloft, and to make it even better the airmass is laden with moisture.

As i said Saturday, this years first flood event for parts of Vic. Could even be a coastal feature. And being an upper feature will continue through the night.

[Ausmammal]

The black dot on radar seems to have been moving to the south and has now just completely turned eastward
Does that have a slight hook on doppler?

[Ausmammal]

Looks like rotation on 128km radar too. Someone help here, am i seeing things or not?

Lang Lang has 43mm in a hour

[I_Love_Storms]

Seriously dangerous right mover by the looks. Such a mature cell as well

[nafets]

:O at the intenisty and quick right move of that storm!!

[Ausmammal]

Now moving north east!!!!

[phunkster]

Was there a brief hook on that?

[HarleyB]

I'm thinking about 5-7mm for my area for the coming event. Will come as a welcome change with nearly 2 weeks since the last event.

[crikey]

Here is a series of 3 snaps showing what looks to be a hook echo but haven't got a clue if it is or not?
Taken quite close together 8:48 then 8:54 then 9:00 UTC ( about 6 minutes apart)









EDIT
Position of storm after 40 minutes from time of suspect hook echo, having suddenly changed direction and taking off east toward Warragul ..and on the move

[AUS_Twisted]

*Sigh* me, too. Finally a day with real potential and I'll be stuck in the office. It cant just co-operate and happen one day later? Hopefully some action after hours, but I'm not very confident, everything seems to start too far east this season. Should have moved to Albury for the summer, watched storm after storm roll through there on the radar this season.

I reckon there will be a good light show to the NE tomorrow night as there will still be good surface temps where Central and South will cool down to much with junky stuff around

got back from Apollo Bay today at about 12:30pm, been there since Friday, I was hoping for some storms and guess what, it has gone nuts at 'The Bay' tonight, grrrrr! Lightning flashes to the south which would be that complex of storms, looking to be approaching Colac area now.

Just went to the movies at Frankston. On the way it seemed like a stormy sky or potentially storm sky. Huge clouds to the W/SW.

[Meso]

Just watched the last couple hours of radar frames and that right mover. Just sat there for ages, then decided alright, thats it, im leaving. Lightning seemed to die as soon as it moved too. Wonder what the mechanics are behind something like that...

[AUS_Twisted]

Could have gotten some structure shots of that cell if I went onto the roof (maybe some CG's to, saw CG's from it before it was dark), it's been lighting up in the distance off and on since it went dark.

The activity down SW sure isn't dieing down, very active cell
