Interesting day with broad trough and boundaries within due to showers and storms. Good day to be home with radar and a good view of the sky.

Hi Ruckle. Great to have someone posting from VIC 😍

I am a part timer in VIC. I visit our old property near Maryborough a few times a year. So l take an interest in weather especially in the central west of the state. I like to see if the water tank is filling
The news said wild storms in the SW on saturday. Yesterday.
Weatherzone reporting on that event. Some significant hail and Warrnambool had 47mm .
Here is the report with an ice pic’ as well
http://m.weatherzone.com.au/news/533213

Hot NNW streaming over VIC ahead of a change around 5 am tomorrow morning. Australia Day. A nice relief for those enjoying a get together tomorrow.
1.30pm and it’s 41 in Shepparton. Around 38 deg c in Melbourne .
Judging by the look of the rain band on the wind change line tomorrow morning. I suspect Australia Day will be heralded in by a line of thunderstorms.

Nice rain/storm event for Victoria tomorrow.
Has a tropical infeed from the Nw . So some humidity.
The wide rain band sweeps over the west of the state sunrise tomorrow morning and intensifies during the morning as it moves eastward.
The snap below is for 8 am where there appears to be a downpour in the central region

Looks like Victoria got hit again with some decent rain. I saw news reports of flooding. The BOM rainfall map shows widespread rain with central and North east areas copping the best.
Mount Buffalo 134mm !🤩

Finally a cool change has arrived after 6 days over 33 deg c here near Maryborough.
Melbourne is expected to be in the low 20’s for the last week of summer. At bit further inland and BOM forecast has Maryborough max temps’ between 20 and 26 this working week.
Noticing BOM forecast not showing rain event impacting Maryborough? this Friday. Will check ACCESS again tomorrow.
Possible models not agreeing.

I hate the Victorian summer. Low humidity, dry in the west makes for hot and oven like. We are off the grid with no air con’ so the spray water bottle and breeze is our Savior.
Dew point at 5 deg c here at 5pm. Quite a brisk NE to assist the evaporative cooling
Access shows moisture from central Oz inland low moving to the SE this week but unfortunately looks to miss the west Vic.
Let’s see

According to BOM synoptic. Most of Australia is within a low pressure zone with a number of embedded lows scattered.
West Victoria has an embedded low currently generating max’ diurnal thunderstorms.

They are moving from the west of the state toward the south. A NE feeding into one side of trough line and SW into the other side.
This event is expected to last 3 days so l expect the trough line is stalling.
Extensive storm lines in the west Vic currently at 3pm

I reckon we should hear our first rumbles of thunder within the hour.
Radar showing front line only 70 km away from our location.
The NE ly has just started to crank

The stalled trough out west finally moving away

6 mm yesterday with a storm and another 6mm today at Dunolly
Radar says we may get another weaker band
Wind change line arrived with everyone dropping down to about 22 deg. I am soo relieved . I hate the heat.

Arrived back in the goldfields yesterday to a warm balmy early Autumn. Temps’ in the high 20’s all week
.
Some thunderstorms in the west of the state currently 5.30pm
Currently we are in a storm free hole’. I wonder if we will escape tonight.
