Severe weather alert as storms move through various states across the nation.

As the spring season comes to a close, many states are preparing for an onslaught of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall that is expected to last for 48 hours. The forecast has caused concern for residents across the southern parts of New South Wales, the ACT, and possibly even Sydney, as they brace for destructive storms.

The State Emergency Service in NSW has issued a warning to residents, urging them to take caution as the storms are expected to bring winds reaching up to 150km/h and heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding. The worst of the storms are predicted to hit the eastern part of the state tonight, moving towards the coast and potentially affecting parts of Sydney.

There are also warnings for southern areas like Griffith, Narrendera, Lake Cargelligo, Lockhart, and Darlington Point, where large hailstones may also pose a threat later today. Assistant Commissioner Colin Malone of the NSW SES advised residents to prepare their homes and secure any loose items in their yards that could cause damage or injury during strong winds.

In addition to the strong winds, there is also a risk of flash flooding, with motorists being warned to never attempt to cross a flooded road. The state of Victoria is also bracing for severe weather, with destructive winds and heavy rainfall expected in the north-east and Gippsland regions. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a weather warning for the state, citing a strong cold front moving across Victoria that may bring storms.

Tasmania is also facing severe weather, with the Furneaux Islands and north-east region preparing for potential flash flooding and damaging winds on Sunday afternoon and evening. This follows a few days of wild weather in Queensland, where backyard trampolines were sent flying in Burpengary East and hail battered down on Emerald.

The Bureau of Meteorology has expressed that the frequency of these severe thunderstorms is somewhat unusual and that the storms are breaching severe thresholds. Queensland is also bracing for more thunderstorms and rain in the coming days, and residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather warnings on the Bureau of Meteorology website.
