The last 24 hours has been Victoria's wildest for the year, at least in terms of weather, as torrential downpours flood much of the state, together with damaging winds. To 9am this morning, rainfall totals ranged anywhere from 30 mm to 50 mm across northern and western VIC, with even greater falls over the alpine region. This makes it one of the wettest September days this century, if not the wettest for many locations. Bendigo, in the north, was awash with 51 mm to 9am, their wettest September day on record. Compounded with today's falls so far, it's been their wettest 48 hours since 1998. Ballarat was hit similarly, with the streets awash with 46 mm to 9am, making it the wettest September day in 89 years of records. Melbourne was one of the least affected areas around, only receiving 10 mm with the whole system. However, the hills surrounding the city received a good soaking, ensuring the dams will get a significant boost. Already Melbourne's dams are up 10 percent of what they were this time last year. As a low skirts the coasts tonight, showers will increase in Melbourne, along with winds, making for a wild way to start Father's Day.
