Two Australian states are gearing up for a rough afternoon as severe thunderstorms are set to hit. The forecast warns of strong winds, potentially large hail, and a high amount of lightning strikes. Queensland and New South Wales are both predicted to experience wild weather, with some areas expected to receive up to 50mm of rain within the next 36 hours.
Coastal regions are expected to bear the brunt of the storm, especially in the Hunter and Northern Rivers areas of NSW, as well as the southeast of Queensland from Noosa all the way up to Rockhampton. However, the effects of the storm are also expected to reach inland, affecting the Central Highlands in Queensland and the North West Slopes and Plains in NSW.
To add to the weather woes, a strong wind warning has been issued for the eastern parts of both states. This will only add to the intensity of the storms, as a low pressure trough collides with moisture over the eastern part of the country. Meanwhile, an upper-level trough hovering above the region will further enhance wind speed and direction.
Residents are advised to prepare for potentially large hail, frequent lightning strikes, strong winds, and heavy rainfall. The severity of the storm is not to be taken lightly, as it has already caused significant damage and even injuries. A 12-year-old boy in Victoria required surgery after a vicious kangaroo attack, while in a separate incident, Emma Lovell's husband is hoping for a conviction in the case of her murder.
It's essential for everyone to stay alert and take necessary precautions during this time of intense weather. Make sure to seek shelter and stay indoors if possible. Keep a close eye on any updates or warnings from authorities and be ready to act accordingly. Let's all stay safe and weather this storm together.
