for Damaging Winds, Large Hailstones And Heavy Rainfall
for parts of Northern Rivers and Northern Tablelands Forecast Districts.
Issued at 3:18 pm Thursday, 27 November 2025.
Severe thunderstorms have developed in far northeastern NSW
Weather Situation
Moisture and instability persist to the east of a surface trough about northeastern NSW this afternoon resulting in severe thunderstorms.This trough is forecast to push offshore during the afternoon, with the storm risk abating thereafter,
DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAILSTONES and HEAVY RAINFALL for the following areas:
Northern Rivers and Northern Tablelands
Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Lismore, Kyogle, Tabulam, Urbenville, Casino and Coraki.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* Move your car under cover or away from trees.
* Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony.
* Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences.

* Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall.
* Keep clear of creeks and storm drains.
* Don't walk, ride your bike or drive through flood water.
* If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue.
* Be aware that run-off from rainfall in fire affected areas may behave differently and be more rapid. It may also contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks.
* After bushfires, heavy rain and the loss of foliage can make the ground soft and heavy, leading to a greater chance of landslides.
* Unplug computers and appliances.
* Avoid using the phone during the storm.
* Stay indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets indoors as well.
* Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires.
