11.01.2022 Here is the latest Thunderstorm Forecast for Today. We will update as warnings are passed to us. Issued at 4:35 am Monday, 21 September 2020, Valid until midnight on Monday, 21 September 2020.... Thunderstorms are already occurring in the far northern inland this morning, and are forecast to affect a broad area of NSW today (Monday), with the exception of the northeast and southwest corners. Thunderstorm activity is expected to become more frequent and intense in the afternoon and evening, with high likelihood of some thunderstorms becoming severe, while gradually shifting to central and eastern parts. The most likely places to experience severe storms are along a band extending from the Upper Western, through the Central West, down to the Southwest slopes, with adjacent districts also a risk. Once formed, these severe thunderstorms may steer east and affect the Sydney Metro, Illawarra and the Central Coast during the evening and overnight period. Damaging wind gusts are the main concern associated with the severe thunderstorms. Large hailstones and localised heavy rainfall are also possible. Expect severe thunderstorm warnings to be issued this afternoon as the situation develops See more
