Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system in the Bight is extending a front over central South Australia, producing a strengthening northwesterly flow ahead of it this evening. Another cold front will then approach southern SA on Tuesday morning and the pressure gradient will continue to strengthen, leading to vigorous southwest to westerly flow with damaging wind gusts becoming more widespread over ranges and exposed coasts.

Adelaide Metropolitan, Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North, Kangaroo Island, Riverland, Murraylands, Upper South East, Lower South East and North East Pastoral
Strong west to northwesterly winds with possible DAMAGING WIND GUSTS of around 90 km/h are developing about southern Mount Lofty Ranges overnight, extending to coastal areas including Adelaide Metro during Tuesday morning. Winds will become west to southwesterly and possible DAMAGING WIND GUSTS of around 90 km/h will extend to inland areas in the southeast and to the Flinders Ranges during Tuesday afternoon.
Winds may drop below damaging thresholds during Tuesday evening, before another burst of possible damaging wind gusts moves through the southeast early Wednesday morning.
Winds are forecast to ease throughout the state by late Wednesday morning or early afternoon.
