Issued at 5:15 pm Friday, 5 December 2025.
Damaging winds developing over parts of southeastern New South Wales during Saturday.
Weather Situation
A cold front traverses southern New South Wales during Saturday. Gusty west to northwesterly winds with this system along with gusty showers and thunderstorms will result in a damaging wind risk over southeast New South Wales.
DAMAGING WINDS for the following areas:
South Coast, Southern Tablelands, South West Slopes, Snowy Mountains and Australian Capital Territory
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.
For remaining areas (below 1900 metres): Strong winds averaging 50 to 60 km/h with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS of around 90 to 100 km/h are also likely about mostly elevated terrain in the southern ranges from late Saturday morning, but also possible about lower lying areas of the South Coast.

Locations which may be affected include Eden, Cooma, Braidwood, Bega, Moruya Heads, Bombala, Narooma, Merimbula and Mount Ginini.
