A significant upper level system is sprinting eastward across southeast Australia today. It will spark the hot, humid air already in place across much of New South Wales to produce dangerous thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. These storms will develop first in the early to mid-afternoon from the interior down through the capital district. They’ll threaten Sydney after around 5-6 pm. The strongest cells will bring large hail up to 5 cm in diameter, damaging wind gusts of 80-110 kph, and locally flooding rainfall! The energy for this severe outbreak will wane in the late evening hours as the storms approach Newcastle, causing them to diminish.
