The BoM has issued warnings for residents of South Australia, NSW, Victoria and the ACT as storms gather Sunday evening.The BoM has issued warnings for residents of South Australia, NSW, Victoria and the ACT as storms gather Sunday evening.Thunderstorms were developing over Adelaide and south-east South Australia on Sunday and were expected to track across large swathes of New South Wales and Victoria during the afternoon and evening.
The Bureau of Meteorology called for residents in the three states and the ACT to keep on the lookout for the latest warnings.“This will cover several of our major population centres, including Melbourne and Adelaide and to a slightly less degree Canberra as well,” Miriam Bradbury, a senior meteorologist, said. “All of these areas may see storms on Sunday, with Melbourne and Adelaide possibly seeing severe thunderstorms.
Bradbury said winds might be strong enough to bring down trees or branches across roads, potentially leading to dangerous driving conditions and property damage.“These are less likely than the strong winds but are still possible with thunderstorms, particularly through central Victoria and parts of the Melbourne area.”“For Canberra, there is a chance of some gusty thunderstorms later this evening but we’re less likely to see the severe storms there,” Bradbury said.
