Bureau of Meteorology warns of supercell storms across NSW
The Bureau of Meteorology warned on that supercell thunderstorms capable of producing large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain were moving across New South Wales, after a lightning strike injured a swimmer on the Central Coast the previous day, according to The Guardian. Earlier in the week, the bureau warned that severe thunderstorms had struck southeast Queensland, bringing large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain and were expected to continue into, as reported by 7NEWS.
Brisbane Times noted that the storms caused widespread power outages, tree damage and forced the closure of 11 schools in Logan. The same agency later forecast heavy rain, flash flooding, damaging winds and large hail across large parts of New South Wales and Queensland over the next three days, per News.com.au, and warned of dangerous thunderstorms, heavy rain and flash flooding across eastern Australia from through early next week, according to 7NEWS.
