A slow moving pattern setting up with a strong upper trough feeding a surface trough in the easterlies. A couple of small lows are likely to form in the trough.

This looks like an eastern VIC and NSW event, with some lighter falls into central parts. Northeast Tas should also do ok.

Western Vic and southern TAS largely a miss :( in southern TAS will be under a high with very cold nights for March.

Soon after this system another low looks like developing over the bight so might be a productive week or two :D

It's March 21, and it's looking like a fizzer here. Just a few spots.

Next week might be more promising.

Looking like a fizzer here too although not much was expected in the west.

9mm here from that band of rain. Nice steady and soaking stuff, but was hoping for something closer to 15mm.

Yep, wrong month lol. I’ll fix.

All north of here. We did get a frost yesterday which was nice, but would like some rain pleased.

Good for eastern VIC, fizzer for Melbourne CBD which is slowly tracking towards its driest start to a year on record :?

Progs really jumpy for the next seven days.

Just 1.5mm here. A bit disappointing.

Next week looks more promising, although a bit all over the place according to the different forecast models...

A mere 2mm here yesterday. Fingers crossed for something reasonable next week, although it might not be all that clear for a little while yet.

Where'd this come from?

Sirens at the golf course across the road just went off. I checked the radar and almost spat out my coffee.

Edit> thunder heard too

The weather gods have finally started making up for lost time it seems in this neck of the woods. About bloody time! :D

We got absolutely smashed here at work, 18mm according to the nearest melbourne water site down the road at Brooklyn. :o

Wonderful! 13mm which will give the garden a good soak and looking at the radar some more may follow.
