Damaging winds developing over parts of southeastern New South Wales during Saturday.

For ALPINE PEAKS above 1900 metres: DAMAGING WINDS averaging 80 to 90 km/h with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS in excess of 125 km/h are likely to develop from Saturday morning. The risk of DAMAGING WIND GUSTS is expected to ease during late Saturday evening into early Sunday morning.
