"The strongest wind gust was recorded at Melbourne Airport, which was 89km/h at 8.35am," Mr Carlyon said. It's the windiest part of the state at the moment. He said the bureau was expecting winds to be strong and gusty all day across most of the state, with the possibility of wind speeds reaching 100km/h in the alpine region. He said above-average temperatures were combining with strong winds to create the high to very high fire danger rating - unusual for May - and that rain wasn't expected until about 6pm. Isolated showers are turning into a band of rain overnight, with the bulk of that rain between 11pm and 5am. CFA state duty officer Tony O'Day said despite being well into autumn, much of Victoria was still dry after below average rainfall during April. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted a top of 20C today, with a mostly sunny morning and the chance of isolated showers in the late afternoon. Northerly winds of 25km/h to 40km/h will increase up to 50km/h in the morning, then will turn northwesterly and decrease to 25km/h to 30km/h during the afternoon and evening. State Emergency Service spokeswoman Dimity York said the agency was monitoring the situation and that no damage had yet been recorded. "We're expecting it (the severe weather) to move quickly through central Victoria and into the north-east of the state," she said. A cool 16C with isolated showers is forecast for tomorrow, and a slightly warmer 18C is predicted for Sunday.
