00:00Severe thunderstorms with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall to
00:04impact parts of Victoria and much of New South Wales today and again on Monday.
00:10We can see that there with today's storm map. You can see widespread storms
00:14across much of northern and eastern New South Wales and even into much of
00:18central and eastern parts of Victoria as well. But our particular concern are
00:22those that live in this red highlighted area where we're likely to see severe
00:26thunderstorms from around the Dubbo area all the way through Wagga Wagga,
00:29Albury-Wodonga and even into the very far north of Melbourne as well. In these
00:34red areas we could see severe thunderstorms with large hail, damaging
00:38winds and heavy rainfall today and that could lead to flash flooding of
00:41businesses, roads and property. We could also see dangerous driving conditions
00:46with these storms as well as any we could see damage to homes, properties and
00:50businesses, trees down and power lines down particularly with those damaging
00:54winds. So very a stormy day on the way this afternoon and we could see even
00:58bigger storm day on the way on Monday through much of inland New South Wales
01:02and northeastern Victoria with another round of large hail, damaging winds and
01:07heavy rainfall that can cause a number of these issues. So let's look at that in
01:11more detail. Firstly this afternoon widespread
01:14shower and thunderstorm activity across much of northern and eastern New South
01:18Wales and much of eastern and northeastern Victoria as well. Could even
01:23see a few showers and storms to the north of Melbourne. Then as we move into
01:26tonight into the early hours of Monday we're likely to see that storm risk
01:30continue through parts of New South Wales and eastern Victoria. We could see
01:34some heavy falls possibly developing through eastern parts of Victoria and
01:37southeast parts of New South Wales and that too could lead to some flash and
01:42possible minor riverine flooding. So watch out for that in far eastern
01:45Victoria and southeastern New South Wales. Then as we move through the day on
01:50Monday you can see widespread rain and thunderstorms across much of New South
01:54Wales and again through eastern Victoria with another round of severe
01:59thunderstorms with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall and we could
02:03see that rain really increase through eastern and central parts of New South
02:06Wales on Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning with possible heavy falls from
02:10around Newcastle all the way down through Wollongong and possibly the
02:13south coast. While showers and storms will continue further inland and then
02:17move up into southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales on Tuesday.
02:21But how much rainfall is going to fall? Well as you can see here we could see
02:25widespread falls of 25 to 50 millimetres through eastern Victoria and much of
02:30central and eastern New South Wales and we could see even heavier falls in
02:34excess of 100 millimetres possible through parts of eastern Victoria and
02:37particularly around central and southeastern parts of New South Wales
02:41particularly where those storms tend to heavy rainfall and that could lead to
02:45flash and possible minor riverine flooding but you can see a wet and
02:48stormy few days on the way. So with all this severe thunderstorm activity in
02:52Victoria and New South Wales today and on Monday make sure you stay up to date
02:57with the latest forecasts and warnings by our website and app and listen to all
03:01advice from emergency services.
