Rain is expected to continue to fall across Victoria at the weekend after thunderstorms crossed the state on Friday.

The Bureau of Meteorology said parts of northern Victoria could see up to 100mm of rain.

The regional Victorian city of Bendigo copped a torrential downpour on Friday, flooding shops and damaging buildings.

The rain has eased bushfire conditions. However, there are still some blazes burning in national parks in Victoria's west and east.
