SES continues clean-up as wild weather recedes from parts of Victoria - ABC News

Severe thunderstorms are expected to lash eastern parts of the state today as Victoria continues to count the cost after days of wild weather.

Key points:

• The SES received 1,114 calls for help across the state in the 12 hours to 9:30pm on Friday
• Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Miriam Bradbury says there is a chance of severe thunderstorms in the north-eastern parts of Victoria
• She says a cool change on Tuesday will push the humidity out of the state

State Emergency Service spokesperson Dharni Giri said 16 people were rescued from their cars in Victoria on Friday as thunderstorms lashed the state with heavy rain, hail and damaging winds.

The SES received 1,114 calls for help across the state in the 12 hours to 9:30pm on Friday.

More than 3,400 Victorian properties were still without power around 8:45am this morning.

But Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Miriam Bradbury said the worst of the storm had passed in Melbourne.

"The low-pressure trough, which is responsible for all the thunderstorm activity we have seen over the past couple of days, that trough is going to move into the eastern part of the state," she said.

"We might still see a chance of severe thunderstorms … in the north-eastern parts of Victoria, Mount Hotham, Falls Creek … and in lower-lying areas like Albury-Wodonga, Beechworth.

"But for the rest of Victoria, we are looking at a real easing in conditions."

Ms Bradbury said the western parts of the state were looking at a largely dry day on Saturday.

"So across Melbourne, there is a slight chance of showers, mostly in the eastern suburbs," she said.

"[But] we may see some sunshine pushing through across the western district."

She said Melbourne was looking at a top of 24 degrees Celsius, but Sunday would be warmer with 28 degrees. 

However, Ms Bradbury said it would continue to be muggy throughout the weekend, with relief to come during the week.

"We are likely to see some showers continuing across the south and east on Monday and Tuesday," she said.

"But on Tuesday, we do have a proper cold front moving through, so it's going to push the humidity out of the state, finally."
