A severe weather warning covers broad hazards like damaging winds or heavy rain over a large area. A storm warning is issued for specific, localised thunderstorm cells that may produce flash flooding or large hail.
Will the super storm warning for qld today affect Sydney?
No, this warning is confined to southern Queensland. However, a separate hazardous surf warning is active for the NSW coast from Sydney northwards, with waves up to 4 metres.
How often are these warnings updated?
The Bureau of Meteorology updates severe weather warnings every six hours, but storm warnings can be updated every 30 minutes as new radar data arrives.
