By 7am on Sunday, the State Emergency Service had responded to more than 140 requests for help across Victoria. But the emergency service said Saturday's storm was just a teaser to Sunday's worsening weather.
The Bureau of Meteorology predicts up to 60 millimetres could fall in Melbourne, higher than April's average monthly rainfall. Areas including the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley could cop as much as 80 millimetres.
A severe weather warning has been issued for a large part of the state, while flash flooding warnings are in place for Bacchus Marsh and Geelong.
