The weather radar is showing showers, with pockets of heavy rain, and containing some very heavy rain within those pockets, all the way to Ceduna, and beyond. All heading for Melb. Looks like they will be on a wet, clean (slippery) track :cry:

How come the weather in Melbourne is predictable!

If it is light rain the Michelins will be superior and Montoya rocks!
