Issued at 4:07 pm Friday, 9 January 2026.
Damaging winds continuing across Victoria today.
Weather Situation
Gusty northwesterly winds have developed across the state, while a cool change is moving through the state will produce some thunderstorm activity. Very hot temperatures in the northwesterly winds are increasing the risk for damaging wind gusts across the state during the afternoon and early evening.

DAMAGING WINDS for the following areas:
Central, East Gippsland, Mallee, South West, Northern Country, North Central, North East, West and South Gippsland and Wimmera
DAMAGING WINDS averaging 55 to 65 km/h with peak gusts around 90 km/h are possible about western, central and eastern ranges today.
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS are expected throughout the warning area this afternoon. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS could reach up to 110 km/h with thunderstorms and over elevated terrain.
Winds are expected to ease below warning thresholds across most of the state during the evening, but may persist over the eastern peaks until Saturday morning.

* 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.
