state.<\/p>\n<p>Melbourne\u2019s Bayside suburbs can expect to be the hardest hit by torrential rain.<\/p>\n<p>Suburbs like Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham and Beaumaris can expect to receive 50mm of rain in just 12 hours, which would normally be just one month\u2019s worth of winter rain.<\/p>\n<p>In other parts of Melbourne the rain is predicted to be slightly less but still significant.<\/p>\n<p>Forecasts show the eastern suburbs will receive 30mm while the western suburbs will cop 10mm.<\/p>\n<p>The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has also issued a coastal hazard warning for abnormally high tides across the Central and Gippsland coasts.<\/p>\n<p>It said the unusually high tides could lead to sea water flooding in low-lying coastal areas, with areas between Cape Otway and the Victorian border with New South Wales possibly in the eye of the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Foreshores along Port Phillip and Western Port bays are also among those with warnings.<\/p>\n<p>Tides are likely to rise well above the normal high tide mark on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Locations which may be among the worst affected include Melbourne, Brighton, Frankston, Ocean Grove, Inverloch, Port Albert, Phillip Island and Lakes Entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria is also one of three states on alert for blizzards and damaging winds.<\/p>\n<p>The BoM has warned a complex low-pressure system could generate dangerous winds of up to 90km\/h for parts of Victoria over the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Melbourne\u2019s highest temperature on Thursday is forecast at 14C, with an overnight low of 10C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A major weather system will kick off early in the day across the city, bringing a cold
