Vic: Fronts and troughs 9 - 19 July

[JasmineStorm]

A few spits of rain here now. Wind gusting to around 60km/h locally. Grampians (Mt William) getting up to near 120 km/h now. Quite a few gauges in the SW now over 20mm.

Wild evening up here with gusts roaring through the trees. Rain inbound, and anticipating around 10mm overnight.

Wind is going to be the real feature of this one with gales on the coast and ranges each of the next four days. There is going to be some big waves (likely over 10m on the west coast) and significant coastal erosion.

Rain totals look very handy, particularly the coastal strip and northeast where totals will be north of 100mm before it finishes.

Btw the low just to our southwest is a cracker. Down around 990hPa near King Island ATM.

[Didjman]

By the 1600 synoptic, we could get down to 996hpa overnight which going by the current baro trend, wouldn't surprise me.

[Didjman]

Wind gusting to around 60km/h locally. Grampians (Mt William) getting up to near 120 km/h now.

Kilmore Gap obs (just up the hill from here) are showing gusts to 80klm/h currently. Getting consistent gusts between 35 - 40 here in town.
(the Kilmore Gap AWS is located on a hill known as Pretty Sally - a name dating back to the gold rush era)

[JasmineStorm]

Horsham just had multiple 106 km/h gusts. It's only 130m ASL, so it's mixing down nicely from 850 hPa.

[crikey]

Gee a bit rough for you 'guys down south atm.
Noticed Horsham had an 80km gust
and
Hobart had mslp at 991 h pa tonight..Take care all.

wow just saw the update on Horsham.. Thats one crazy down burst

[Sean]

Is this wind going to go all night?

Hate it. Already some large branches down.

[Skywalker]

Yep, absolute pure filth here.
I'll be so relieved when this windy crap is over. Going to be a long couple of days (or week for that matter).

[SC.]

Wind speed over 40 km loving it.

[93ben]

It's so windy in Templestowe atm that my rubbish bins keep falling over! Hopefully it stops soon so I can actually keep them upright.

[Adam38]

The wind is insane! Bucketing down/sideways too. My house faces north and west on top of an exposed ridge... loving it

[Wilko]

Consistently 80 km an hour plus for the last 2 hours getting ready for the wind change bit scary

[Wilko]

South Channel 104km/h with wind change

[WeatherViewer]

It has been bucketing down here in Tarneit, just had a massive crack of Thunder. Love winter storms!

[Jake Smethurst]

Absolutely pouring, there's even hail mixed in this. Flash and bang and wind blowing a gale! Bin night here, few have gone for a ride in the gusts!

[Adam38]

I just went out to check my new rain gauge... it’s gone..., anyway local pws have recorded 10-15mm locally.

[jimmyay]

Flang-tastic! A very explosive bolt just came down here in Brighton hugely bright flash and instant

[wolfcat]

Finally a decent winter rumble in the sky here.
Been blowing a gale all evening, we got a 87kph gust at the closet station (Moorabbin Airport)

Keeping an eye out on power outages, but so far so good.

[stevco123]

Lightning and thunder down here too

[Gordon]

14mm here so far. With once-a-few-decades rain in May and June, starting to think about the consequences of too much rain - an unusual sensation!
