I went to Warrandyte to storm chase today and I'm glad I did. I left as soon as it started hailing though because I knew this thing was a monster. I was right in front of the purple area but left just in time. So no damage to my car.

We were at Highpoint SC & the smoke has even made it's way in there. :o It's certainly not much fun walking the dog & cycling to work at present (no choice there either, thanks to the current westgate tunnel works). I was at Northland SC and there was smoke in there too! Then I saw a cyclis...

The air quality is now hazardous in Box Hill and other suburbs! It's terrible out there!

I feel the radar is picking up the smoke too. Probably the reason why you are ending up with nothing.

There were no storms in Templestowe. Just light rain from time to time. Hopefully we get something today.

Thanks to the dust, my car is now covered in it. The car wash businesses would be happy about it.

I know everyone complains about wind here but I find days like today being so hot and windy the worst!

Crazy warm night and now a toss-up between the approaching wind change and 9am to see if the city sets a new September high. Current min of 21.4C with the record to watch 20.5C. EC has the wind change mid morning so could be lineball. Would expect a few other sites in central will be similar (e.g.,...

A Qantas plane had to divert to Avalon Airport due to strong winds at Melbourne Airport this morning. Lukily my friend got in last night. Pretty warm night too. Feels like Summer is already back but that will change over the weekend into next week

It was a bit foggy this morning in Templestowe. Interesting day coming up.

When I was coming down from Olinda, it looked like the snow got as low as Sassafras.

Still snowing in Olinda. Probably about 1 to 2cm thick

Car in Olinda is saying it's -1 degrees celsius outside and there's heaps of stuff showing on the radar! This is going to be wicked!

Proper snow in the dandenongs now and the really cold air hasn't reached yet!

Snowing now in olinda

Fine hail shower going through olinda atm

King Island down below 6c between 10pm and 11pm as Cold Pool affects the island may still further drop. So likely airmass COLDER then projected by the models. Currently 5.7c as at 10:20pm 😁 It’s now 4.5c at King Island. Currently 4.0c here with showers coming through and a wintry windchill of 0c. I...

Mt Macedon Rd is currently as busy as it normally is on a weekend day. Lots of crazy people out tonight.

I'm sure the same would be with mount dandenong

Thats awesome hillbilly. It's freezing here in Templestowe atm. Is it safe to drive up there? Yeah. I’d get up quick as it won’t last. This is warm front of sorts and it will turn to rain and melt pretty quick. Tomorrow looks a repeat but possibly better. Cold air overrun by warm air advection. I'm...
