Thread: Incoming Gusts to 100 to 120 km/h Close all upper deck screen doors and Hatches

A few warnings about Lashing down or securing is recommended.

The next 36 hours will serve up a smorgasbord of extreme weather across south-east Australia, from record October heat to dangerous thunderstorms and gale force winds.
The majority of severe weather will result from the passage of a powerful front, however for South Australia and Victoria on Wednesday, a deepening offshore low has the potential to generate winds equal in strength to a category 2 tropical cyclone.
In the meantime, out-of-control bushfires are possible in NSW, as wild winds combine with dry lightning and temperatures up to 16 degrees Celsius above average.

Thanks DL, appreciated.

The new radar causes my laptop to run at 100% and is very, very slow.

Edit: It's great to have the simplicity of the old system again.
