The indicators are that Friday 8th will have the most precipitation with an accumulation of around 8. Summary Max 17 Showers developing. Possible rainfall: 1 to 4 mm Chance of any rain: 80% Melbourne area Cloudy. Possible small hail in the morning. Because the radar has an unobstructed view of Port Phillip Bay out to about 25km, sea-clutter may be seen over the bay during strong winds. Medium 60% chance of showers, most likely in the morning.
Possible rainfall: 3 to 10 mm Chance of any rain: 95% Melbourne area Cloudy. Expect the following 14 days ahead to have most days seeing a little rain. . Very high 95% chance of showers. Summer thunderstorms that develop on the surrounding hills and mountains may be observed in detail. The radar is on a tower 24m above ground level.
Doppler observations can also reveal the presence of flocks of birds over Port Phillip Bay, which appear as thin lines, and generally have a higher velocity than the surrounding area. These appear as radials of incorrect Doppler velocities in the area to the northeast of the radar. The high ground from the east, through north and to the south west tends to obscure shallow rain falling further away. Similarly, cold fronts and associated rain and thunderstorms approaching from the northwest, through west and south are well detected. Summer thunderstorms that develop on the surrounding hills and mountains may be observed in detail. The radar is on a tower 24m above ground level.
These echoes may be distinguished from rain as they do not move with the wind and end abruptly at the shoreline of the bay. Melbourne Weather Watch Radar 37. Doppler observations can also reveal the presence of flocks of birds over Port Phillip Bay, which appear as thin lines, and generally have a higher velocity than the surrounding area. Similarly, cold fronts and associated rain and thunderstorms approaching from the northwest, through west and south are well detected. Because the radar has an unobstructed view of Port Phillip Bay out to about 25km, sea-clutter may be seen over the bay during strong winds. These echoes may be distinguished from rain as they do not move with the wind and end abruptly at the shoreline of the bay. The Great Dividing Range dominates the topography from the east, through the north to the west.
These usually become more noticeable on cold, clear, winter nights or early winter mornings. Non-meteorological aspects; In most cases the processing of the radar signal removes permanent echoes caused by obstructions such as hills, buildings and other solid objects rather than rainfall. Doppler observations are occasionally affected by multi path reflections off Melbourne City buildings and approaching rain bands. Occasionally, some permanent echoes will not be completely removed from the display. The high ground from the east, through north and to the south west tends to obscure shallow rain falling further away. The location on the floor of a wide basin is ideal for Doppler observations which provide wind speed information. The radar is on a tower 24m above ground level.
The Great Dividing Range dominates the topography from the east, through the north to the west. These appear as radials of incorrect Doppler velocities in the area to the northeast of the radar. High 70% chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. The origin may be changed by clicking elsewhere on the map. Possible rainfall: 2 to 4 mm Chance of any rain: 80% Melbourne area Cloudy. The chance of a thunderstorm. The mean minimum temperature will be 9°C, dipping to its lowest on the morning of Saturday 9th at 5°C.

Doppler observations can also reveal the presence of flocks of birds over Port Phillip Bay, which appear as thin lines, and generally have a higher velocity than the surrounding area. » Geographical Situation; The radar is situated on the western plains of the Melbourne basin some 19km west-south-west of the Central Business District, about six kilometres from the western shores of Port Phillip bay and on a low rise about 20m above mean sea level. The location on the floor of a wide basin is ideal for Doppler observations which provide wind speed information. Doppler observations are occasionally affected by multi path reflections off Melbourne City buildings and approaching rain bands.
The high ground from the east, through north and to the south west tends to obscure shallow rain falling further away. Medium 40% chance of showers during the morning, increasing to a very high 90% chance of showers during the afternoon and evening with associated gusty winds. Meteorological Aspects; The radar is well sited to provide very good coverage for the Greater Melbourne Metropolitan Area. These usually become more noticeable on cold, clear, winter nights or early winter mornings. Doppler observations are occasionally affected by multi path reflections off Melbourne City buildings and approaching rain bands. The Great Dividing Range dominates the topography from the east, through the north to the west. The location on the floor of a wide basin is ideal for Doppler observations which provide wind speed information.
The colours and symbols used on the radar and satellite maps are described on our page. On the whole winds are likely to be moderate.

Because the radar has an unobstructed view of Port Phillip Bay out to about 25km, sea-clutter may be seen over the bay during strong winds. Possible rainfall: 0 to 2 mm Chance of any rain: 60% Melbourne area Cloudy. These usually become more noticeable on cold, clear, winter nights or early winter mornings. Long range weather outlook for Melbourne includes 14 day forecast summary: The next 14 day outlook for Melbourne shows the average daytime maximum temperature will be around 18°C, with a high for the two weeks of 31°C expected on the afternoon of Tuesday 12th. Similarly, cold fronts and associated rain and thunderstorms approaching from the northwest, through west and south are well detected.
