Fortunately Saturday is often the least busy day of the week for domestic flying, but a severe storm is about to hit much of Melbourne.

QF455 (B738 VH-VXE, the 1500 hours SYD-MEL airborne if anything a bit ahead of time at 1512) is diverting to ADL. It had been in a lenthy holding pattern slightly southeast of Mansfield, Victoria but at about 1630 started the path to the diversion.
