Issued at 10:28 am Wednesday, 26 November 2025.
Damaging wind gusts with a line of showers and thunderstorms moving through central areas and Gippsland, including far eastern Melbourne.
Weather Situation
A front moving through central and eastern parts of the state today triggers thunderstorms, moving swiftly towards the east.
DAMAGING WINDS for the following areas:
Central, North Central, North East and West and South Gippsland
Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Traralgon, Warragul, Yarra Glen, Mt Baw Baw, Morwell and Moe.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* If driving conditions are dangerous, safely pull over away from trees, drains, low-lying areas and floodwater. Avoid travel if possible.
* Stay safe by avoiding dangerous hazards, such as floodwater, mud, debris, damaged roads and fallen trees.
* Be aware - heat, fire or recent storms may make trees unstable and more likely to fall when it's windy or wet.
* Check that loose items, such as outdoor settings, umbrellas and trampolines are safely secured. Move vehicles under cover or away from trees.
* Stay indoors and away from windows.
* If outdoors, move to a safe place indoors. Stay away from trees, drains, gutters, creeks and waterways.
* Stay away from fallen powerlines - always assume they are live.
* Be aware that in fire affected areas, rainfall run-off into waterways may contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. Heavy rainfall may also increase the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
* Stay informed: Monitor weather warnings, forecasts and river levels at the Bureau of Meteorology website, and warnings through VicEmergency website/app/hotline.
The next warning is due to be issued by 1:30 pm.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
