Weather
Looks like it'll be a tough few days for cod opening. Anyone heading out to fish the rivers & lakes should take some care with this front moving in & some heavy rain on the way.

Victoria
TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
Severe Weather Warning
for HEAVY RAINFALL
For people in Central, East Gippsland, Mallee, South West, Northern Country, North Central, North East, West and South Gippsland and Wimmera Forecast Districts.
Issued at 3:38 pm Wednesday, 29 November 2017.
HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM LATE THURSDAY
A high pressure system will continue to strengthen over the Tasman Sea this week allowing a hot and humid northeasterly airstream to continue. A trough of low pressure crossing the Bight will reach western Victoria on Thursday and then become slow-moving. A low pressure system will develop over northwestern Victoria on Friday before drifting slowly southeastwards over the weekend.
HEAVY RAIN and SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS which may lead to FLASH FLOODING are likely to develop in the far west during THURSDAY night 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 60-120mm are expected south of the Divide and over the far northwest with totals of between 100 and 200mm over remaining areas on and north of the Divide. However, totals over the northeast ranges 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 11:00 pm AEDT Wednesday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at http://www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 217. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.

These weather guys are a joke. Most of their theories end up laughable.
They should be held to account

Re: Weather
Better the weather guys err on the side of being cautious rather than talking it down. Consequences would be much more severe.
And it’s weather. No one can get it right all the time. I reckon the BOM do a pretty good job overall.

We should be ok, it normally goes around us because of the You Yangsbowl wrote:Awesome ,I live in the West...better get the sand bags ready
Rarely (compared to Geelong or Franston) do we get really heavy rain
From South West-- we can cop it
From North West -- Geelong and across the bay
From West -- Either and anything possible
But I've been wrong before
