NSW weather: Line of storms bring heavy rain, 100km/h gusts
Weather by Georgia Clark 12th Mar 2021 6:49 AM A huge line of storms has battered parts of NSW, prompting heavy rainfall, riverine flooding and gale-force winds of up to 100km/h. The wild weather sparked a severe thunderstorm warning - including heavy rain, damaging winds and hailstones - for large parts of the state stretching from Bourke down to Coonabarabran, Mudgee, Katoomba and Goulburn. A humid air mass coupled with a trough sitting over central NSW prompted the wild weather conditions, which will ease in time for the weekend. The downpour resulted in a warning from the State Emergency Service (SES) for people to move their cars undercover and secure loose objects. The service received 65 calls for help.

Subscriber only Dinged surfboards, broken rods, damaged boats and injured bodies - if not pride - are all good reasons to heed the hazardous surf warning from the Bureau of Meteorology. On Wednesday January 21, a hazardous surf warning for the Byron Coast has been issued for the next 48 hours. BOM Meteorologist Melody Sturm said the waves are likely to be deceptively strong and anyone venturing out should think twice. Off shore we could see 2.5m to 3m with a high period which means powerful surf even though it might not look it from the beach, she said. So especially at exposed areas, the waves could catch you off guard.
