Storm Warning for South Coast NSW
Well - looks like it's our turn.
The Bureau of Meteorology in Sydney today warned of a return to high winds and rain for southern and central coastal parts of NSW later on Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be the third intense weather system to affect the NSW coast in the past fortnight.
An intense low is expected to develop rapidly off Sydney overnight Tuesday with southerly winds reaching storm force in NSW south coastal waters Tuesday evening, extending through Sydney and Hunter waters to the Mid North Coast on Wednesday morning. "Seas will be very dangerous off the NSW coast Tuesday night and into Wednesday", said the Bureau's Regional Director in NSW Barry Hanstrum.
"Damaging winds with gusts to 100km/h are expected along the coastal strip from Nowra to Forster, including the eastern parts of Sydney, commencing before sunrise on Wednesday morning.
The heaviest rain from this storm is expected to be to the south of Sydney sparing the Hunter region that bore the brunt of flooding earlier in the month.
People should stay tuned to the Bureau's severe weather and coastal waters warnings which will up-dated regularly during Tuesday.
