PARTS of northern and north-eastern Victoria and are watching the skies nervously as heavy rain threatens flooding.
Some parts of the state's north have had up to 80mm of rain - well over the average for April - since Tuesday as a slow-moving low pressure trough crosses the state.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has renewed severe weather warnings for heavy rain and possible flash flooding in the Mallee, Northern Country and North East forecast regions, a wide area that spans Mildura, Swan Hill, Bendigo, Echuca, Shepparton, Benalla, Wangaratta and Wodonga.
BoM senior forecaster Terry Ryan said Rushworth, near Shepparton, had 50mm of rain to 9am (AEST) on Thursday while Bendigo had 45mm and Benalla 44mm over the same period.
Since 9am, a further 29mm fell near Benalla at Violet Town and falls around 30mm were common across the north of the state.
Mr Ryan said between 30mm and 80mm had fallen across the north, with the heaviest falls in the high country.
Flood watches have been issued for the Goulburn/Broken river catchment and for East Gippsland.
Severe weather warnings for the central district around Melbourne, the Wimmera and North Central districts have been cancelled.
Melbourne has copped its heaviest rainfall since November with 20mm falling over the past two days.
There, the main impact has been on the roads, with cars colliding in the slippery conditions.
There haven't been any serious injuries, Ambulance Victoria said in a tweet on Thursday, but paramedics have been called to 24 collisions across the state in the space of eight hours.
The State Emergency Service handled more than 70 assistance calls on Thursday, mainly for building damage and fallen trees.
