23.01.2022 NOTE THIS WEATHER WARNING IS NOT LONGER CURRENT Severe Thunderstorm Warning for DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAILSTONES and HEAVY RAINFALL... For people in parts of Central Tablelands, Southern Tablelands, Central West Slopes and Plains, South West Slopes, Riverina and Lower Western Forecast Districts. Issued at 3:21 pm Friday, 30 October 2020. SEVERE STORMS OVER THE CENTRAL INLAND A trough of low pressure is combining with an upper-level disturbance to generate unsettled condition across much of NSW. Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding over the next several hours in parts of the Central Tablelands, Central West Slopes and Plains, Riverina and Lower Western districts. Locations which may be affected include Dubbo, Parkes, Condobolin, West Wyalong, Griffith and Ivanhoe. Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce large hailstones over the next several hours in parts of the Central Tablelands, Southern Tablelands and South West Slopes districts. Locations which may be affected include Goulburn, Crookwell and Taralga. The State Emergency Service advises that people should: * Move your car under cover or away from trees. * Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony. * Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences. * Report fallen power lines to either Ausgrid (131 388), Endeavour Energy (131 003), Essential Energy (132 080) or Evoenergy (131 093) as shown on your power bill. * Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall. * Keep clear of creeks and storm drains. * Don't walk, ride your bike or drive through flood water. * If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue. * Be aware that run-off from rainfall in fire affected areas may behave differently and be more rapid. It may also contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. * After bushfires, heavy rain and the loss of foliage can make the ground soft and heavy, leading to a greater chance of landslides. * Unplug computers and appliances. * Avoid using the phone during the storm. * Stay indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets indoors as well. * Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires. * For emergency help in floods and storms, ring the SES (NSW and ACT) on 132 500. The next warning is due to be issued by 6:25 pm.
