The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for large parts of New South Wales today, with damaging winds, heavy rain and possible flash flooding expected across the state’s central and northern inland, including the Hunter and Northern Rivers districts.
Which areas are under the severe weather warning NSW today?
The warning covers a broad swathe from the Central Tablelands north through the Northern Tablelands and into the North West Slopes and Plains. Residents in Tamworth, Armidale, Dubbo and Gunnedah should prepare for damaging gusts exceeding 90 km/h and intense rainfall that may cause localised flooding. The system is tracking east, and a separate tornado warning NSW today has been flagged for isolated supercells near the Queensland border.

The super storm warning for QLD today also applies to communities near the border, so residents in Tenterfield and Glen Innes should stay alert.
