Good morning!
This first weekend of spring has brought extreme weather as parts of the country are being hit with sweltering heat, weather warnings are in place across Victoria and Tasmania.
In Tasmania multiple flood warnings are current, including a major warning in place for the River Derwent, as residents near New Norfolk have been warned by the SES to prepare to leave.
The extreme weather has left around 30,000 Tasmanians without power across the state this morning. TasNetworks say they have 117 outages reported in the north and north-west, and 20 in the south.
The Bureau of Meteorology has also issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds affecting most regions in Victoria except the very north-most part of the state.
The bureau says damaging winds will develop into destructive winds about coastal and alpine areas late Sunday into early Monday, affecting people in Central, East Gippsland, South West, North Central, West and South Gippsland, Wimmera and parts of Northern Country, North East and Mallee Forecast Districts.
Let’s get going, plenty more news coming your way this Sunday.
