DAMAGING WIND GUSTS with peak gusts to 100 km/h are likely with thunderstorms during the afternoon and early evening.
Winds are expected to ease below thresholds during Friday evening.
Locations which may be affected include Whyalla, Renmark, Port Augusta, Port Pirie, Clare and Murray Bridge.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
