The higher of these ranges would be all time 24 hr records in some cases. For example the Scottsdale record is just 110mm.

Geez Wow that’s scary

Rainbow radar starting to show thunderstorms
Could be quite the event

Yes we are in a bit of a rain shadow now in Melbourne
However the rain will spread from NW later today
5mm already...didn’t expect that

Moisture currently pouring in to this deep low in the bight 30 to 110mm here and holding :o 30mm would be a nice amount :D Melbourne is just a weird place to predict..almost has to be a freak event to happen 8-) Will be interesting this time tomorrow as the front approaches ever so slowly from the w...

This could be quite serious if it comes off as projected
Melbourne just isn’t built for handling this much water in 24hrs
thoughts go to rural /country areas
Time to check my Flood Insurance

50-80 here too
All models in alignment this far out...

Yes majority of models predicting a deluge…
Better get the Ark ready

I hear ya
23mm in 2 hours this morning

And a leak in my roof

18mm overnight
Further 5mm and still raining heavily this morning

Smashing down here at the moment
Damn radar is down which is very untimely

Steady rain here for the past hour or so
The radar looks interesting with an embedded line of thunderstorms getting organised as it crosses the bay
About to hit here so just a heads up

9mm here which is at upper end of forecast
Possibility of some storms today. Hopefully the clouds lift for a sunny arvo

Big Fizzer here for this event

Quite heavy at times with 7mm

I don’t think the rain totals will add up to much today with that rain racing thru this arvo
Hopefully we get a rumble or three

Melbourne Olympic park has had 10 consecutive days below 15 degrees. Last winter the best we could get was 9. Based on current forecast maximums this will extend to at least 17! What is the record?? I can’t remember such a consistently long run of cold days in Melbourne to match this one. There are...

Easing up now
Just in the sweet spot I guess :
Didn’t expect that ....21mm
The latest Charts do look impressive with EC forecasting 150mm for Highett

Heavy convective rain here from the bayside cell
15mm in 15 minutes and not letting up

This latest system looks fierce
