Victoria weather: Heavy rain, floods forecast across state as Premier warns of 'challenging period’

Victorians have been warned to prepare for a "very challenging period" over coming days, as unprecedented severe weather threatens public safety, Premier Daniel Andrews says.
More than 100mm could fall across Melbourne in the coming days.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has warned the state could be drenched with up to three times its monthly rainfall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

State and local emergency control centres have been activated as emergency services work on a four-day plan to cope with possible flash flooding.

Mr Andrews told Parliament people must follow official warnings.
