Showers and thunderstorms hitting NSW and ACT
Ben McBurney, Saturday April 25, 2015 - 11:23 AEST
The latter part of Anzac will be a stormy one across New South Wales and the Australia Capital Territory as thunderstorms plough east during the day.
A cold pool of air in the upper atmosphere over western NSW is interacting with a surface trough to its east, generating unstable conditions across the region.
Thunderstorms have fired up this morning across southern NSW and the ACT, already affecting places such as Albury and Canberra.
As the day wears on thunderstorms will become more widespread, reaching central parts of NSW and the coast by the afternoon.
By the evening, even some parts of the north (particularly near the coast) could see some of the action.
Thunderstorms could possibly be severe, bringing the risk of large hail and damaging winds.
As the pool of cold air shifts east, thunderstorms will remain a risk about the NSW south and central coasts tomorrow, although they will be much more isolated than today.
Generally stable conditions will return to NSW and the ACT by Monday as a ridge of high pressure builds across the region.
