The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds across much of Victoria today, with gusts up to 100 km/h expected in exposed coastal and alpine areas. A cold front moving across southeastern Australia is driving the wind storm in Victoria today, bringing risk of fallen trees and power outages.
What areas are affected by the wind warnings?
The warning covers the Central, South West, East Gippsland, West and South Gippsland, and parts of the Mallee and Northern Country districts. The strongest winds will hit coastal areas and the alpine peaks this afternoon and evening. The severe weather warning Victoria today map shows the warning zone extending from Portland to Mallacoota, and inland to Bendigo and Shepparton.
When will the winds ease?
Gusty conditions will peak between 2pm and 8pm today, then ease overnight as the front moves east. Tomorrow will see lighter winds, but a second, weaker system may bring another burst of wind to eastern Victoria on Friday.
