And the Bureau has suddenly done a U-Turn, and instead of rain and a possible storm tonight and tomorrow it now says there'll be little or nothing over the next week in Central Victoria.  Well f-me I could've told them that about 12-24 hours ago.  Angry  Ermm

You give him too much credit SC.................wellies? They didn't occur to him 'till after the 2nd clothes change & wet weather gear? Forget it LOL Still little rain?

acacia, Censored the hill track, it was & is the least of my concerns LOL All that water came off the driveway si I imagine it drained off the track.
Wendy did say y/day on FB, referring to the circle tracks:
  Gay had 88mm and the racecourse had 104mm. The new A sand track is Mckissed, it's back to the gravel drainage in a lot of places. If we didn't have the Poly Track, we would've been stuffed for work this morning...

Gay we've all of 1ml over the last 60 hours.  Below is the Bendigo forecast but would be surprised if we get anything of note.

Humid. Partly cloudy. Medium chance of showers, becoming less likely late this afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm, with possible heavy falls.

We're across the road from Michelle's Dad tho' their side had 2mths worth of major drain work done after the last one in Jan 2010.
God only knows why I pay the rates when the Shire allow such dreadful engineering! 80% of the water literally gushes staright across the road Angry
Did you end up with any SC? We escaped today with only 2ml.

We've had bugger-all rain in Bendigo thus far.  There's front N-E of us but don't know that'll end in much rain here, though we could well do with 25mls or so.

I'll post photos once I have them d/loaded etc. & helped OH prepare for the next onslaught Angry

Thunderstorm charts are the main thing you need to know about today, we will again see another day of massive storms that are likely to be even bigger than yesterdays.

The BOMs description talks about supercells and destructive winds, so large areas of both NSW and Victoria may see a lot of damage with these storms that develop.

Wild weather across Victoria with flash flood warnings for areas including central Victoria, Gippsland and Wimmera

Posted , updated 

Victorians are being told to brace for wild weather, with a warning for intense rainfall, large hailstones and damaging winds across most of the state.

Key points:

  • There have been reports of flash flooding in Ballarat
  • An SES spokesperson said they had received 182 calls for assistance in the past few hours in Ballarat and its surroundings
  • The SES urged more than 30,000 campers around the Mornington Peninsula to be cautious and prepared for strong storms

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a warning for severe thunderstorms that may produce flash flooding over the next several hours in central Victoria, Gippsland and Wimmera districts.

Storm in Creswick, western region Victoria. Power out, some tree branches off & back gate off its hinge but otherwise ok. I suspect far more damage in town & region though... #HepburnShire pic.twitter.com/xdxYP5ulQJ

— Elizabeth Boulton, PhD (@lizb_2010) January 5, 2022

Locations which may be affected include Seymour, Maryborough, Kyneton, Ballarat, Geelong and Bacchus Marsh, Shepparton, Seymour, Wodonga, Wangaratta, Bright and Falls Creek.

There have been reports of flooding in Ballarat, with a flash flood alert being issued for Creswick and surrounding areas as well as Miners Rest, Wendouree, Invermay and Ballarat North. 

A Watch and Act warning has been issued for the area, urging people to stay indoors.

There have also been reports of flash floods in Melbourne's outer west.

Ballarat's had 36.2mm since 9am thanks to that crazy storm. Still going with the radar showing most of the lightning is now east of Ballarat! How much rain have you had if you're from the area? #Ballarat #weather #WeatherUpdate #storm #rain #lightning pic.twitter.com/wmZhU4Lo31

— Victorian Storm Chasers (@VicStormChasers) January 5, 2022

An SES spokesperson said they had received 182 calls for assistance in the past few hours in Ballarat and its surroundings. 

"We have had a significant weather event happen in Ballarat," she said.

"We have had a number of call-outs for floods though the area."

The spokesperson said most of the requests were for floods, trees down and building damage.

She urged people not to drive through floodwaters.

"It is the most dangerous [thing to do]. The best idea is to pull over and stay in higher grounds."

She said given the severe thunderstorm warning, the SES was expecting a lot more calls for help through the evening.

— Paul Nolan (@pwnolan) January 5, 2022

A Bureau of Meteorology spokesperson said Wilson Reservoir and the Devils Creek on Moorabool Reservoir, both towards the east of Ballarat, had received 94 millimetres and 83mm of rainfall since 9am on Wednesday morning.

The SES has also urged more than 30,000 campers around the Mornington Peninsula to be cautious and prepared for strong storms.

I've just tipped 88mls from a 2hr torrential storm! We were getting a bit dry but that's overkill LOL

Finally after 6wks of no rain whatsoever in B'rat (5mls in Feb for the pedantic), Hughie is sending it down & has been since 8.30 Big smile
I near killed myself Thursday, weed spraying, fertilising & hand broadcating pasture seed on 2 acres, in the hope http://avweather.net would be correct in his repeated posts that this system would give more than predicted, as without his insistence, I wouldn't have risked wasting such an expense given the WZ forecast of 5-10mm Sat/Sun which frequently results in us missing out.
Looks like another hour to go which may well give us around an inch of steady, soaking stuff. Too wet to check now tho' LOL
What chance Mornington to get thru'? Wink

And for Tassie Ouch

Snow follows summer heat as Tasmanian weather lives up to reputation for extremes

12:27 EDT

It is common knowledge in Tasmania to keep a coat in the car, as the weather can swing wildly from sunstroke to shivering faster than you can say "isn't this supposed to be summer?" The state's reputation for was in evidence again on Wednesday, with Hobartians reaching for the doonas during an overnight minimum of 9 degrees Celsius, just days after an overnight low of 23.9C on Monday morning broke the record for highest minimum January temperature.

Max - Barwon Heads VIC says:

Is there potential for it to be as big as the Dec 2003 storm in Melbourne that was considered a ‘once in a hundred years’ storm? Seems like we average these every 7-8 years but the media (and BoM) forget the previous big event…

Hi Max, that was different, that was a huge storm event that went through, and then after it was all done we had sea breeze convergence at 11 pm kick off even bigger storms in the Melbourne area.

This one will be similar to Feb 1 2005, a huge cut off formed after dragging down heaps of tropical moisture and bombing the low over West Gippsland, and then the wrap around gave Melbourne and the Otways litres of rain over night with widespread gales. I still maintain we went through a Category 1 cyclone equivalent that night. This one will be similar to that.

In case anyone's needing to prepare, this is the AV estimate for this event in Vic. He did cover the other States if anyone wants them.

Here is the overall picture from the EC, a huge event and also good rain with the trough in QLD too

So given this, here is the latest forecasts for you, I think the main change is now Central and West Gippsland are now firmly in the gun if the low bombs off the Victorian coast.

Mallee : 50 – 70 mm, possible falls to 100 mm.

Wimmera : 45 – 70 mm

SW Vic : 35 – 60 mm

Central Vic : 75 – 130 mm, higher on the ranges.

Northern Vic : 50 – 100 mm

North Central : 60 – 100 mm, higher on the ranges.

NE Vic : 150 – 300 mm – Major flood potential

West Gippsland : 100 – 200 mm – Major Flood Potential

East Gippsland : 150 – 300 mm – Major Flood likely.

HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM LATE THURSDAY

A large high pressure system near New Zealand continues to direct a hot and humid northeasterly airstream over Victoria. A trough of low pressure crossing the Bight will reach western Victoria late today then become slow moving. A low pressure system will develop on the trough over northwestern Victoria on Friday then drift slowly southeastwards over the weekend. Milder, less humid southerly winds will develop behind the low, as a new high pressure system forms in the Bight.

HEAVY RAIN and SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS which may lead to FLASH FLOODING are likely to develop in the far west during TONIGHT before extending across the remaining parts of the State during FRIDAY. The heavy rain and thunderstorm activity will continue on SATURDAY.

Three day totals of around 100-200mm are expected acoss most of northern and central regions of the State. Elsewhere totals are likely to be between 30 and 100mm. Over the northeast ranges totals may exceed 250mm.

Locations which may be affected include Mildura, Horsham, Warrnambool, Bendigo, Shepparton, Seymour, Maryborough, Ballarat, Geelong, Melbourne, Wodonga, Wangaratta, Traralgon and Bairnsdale.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should: 
* Don't walk, ride or drive through flood water; 
* Keep clear of creeks and storm drains; 
* Be aware that in fire affected areas, rainfall run-off into waterways may contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks; 
* Be alert that in areas recently affected by fires, heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslides and debris across roads; 

The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 5:00 pm AEDT Thursday.

I was talking to a bloke the other day who said the unusual rainy spring in SE Qld of 2017 reminded him of the months leading up to the 1974 Brisbane flood. I marvelled at his memory, but he might be right.
