NSW weather: Storm lashes central-west, BOM tells Sydney to prepare for wild Tuesday

New South Wales’ wild weather will continue on Tuesday, with the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) warning up to 80 millimetres of rain and severe thunderstorms could lash Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

A savage storm moved over the state’s central-west on Monday, with heavy rain and golf-ball sized hailstones falling on some areas.

It was expected to continue overnight, with a severe weather warning issued for areas including Armidale, Orange, Mudgee, Bathurst, Tamworth, Gunnedah, Moree, Narrabri, Dubbo, Parkes, Wellington and Coonamble.

BOM forecaster Rebecca Kamitakahara said the action was expected to hit Sydney on Tuesday.

“In Sydney you could see some of the heavier rainfall in the morning,” she said.
