Severe Weather Warning
for Damaging Winds

for Furneaux Islands and parts of South East, North East, East Coast and Central North Forecast Districts.

Issued at 10:37 pm Friday, 25 July 2025.

Damaging east to northeasterly winds expected in eastern and southeastern areas during Saturday.

Weather Situation
A deep low pressure system to the northwest of the state will extend a cold front over northwestern parts initially on Saturday morning. As the front tracks to the southeast through the state, east to northeasterly winds strengthen and become damaging, beginning in the northeast by sunrise before shifting down the east coast throughout the morning. The front clears the southeast coast during Saturday afternoon with winds easing in its wake.
DAMAGING WINDS for the following areas:
Furneaux Islands, South East, North East, East Coast and Central North
Strong east to northeasterly winds averaging 45 to 55 km/h with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS of around 90 km/h are expected to develop initially about the Furneaux Islands and the northeast district before sunrise on Saturday morning. Damaging winds will then extend down the east coast to include Tasman and Bruny Island by around midday.
Winds will ease north of Swansea in the late morning, before clearing the state entirely by the late afternoon.
Locations which may be affected include St Helens, Swansea, Ben Lomond, Whitemark, Bicheno, Orford and Fingal.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* Supervise children closely.
* Check that family and neighbours are aware of warnings.
* Manage pets and livestock.
* Secure outdoor items including furniture and play equipment.
* Be prepared in case of power outages and report any outages to TasNetworks on 132 004.
* Beware of damaged trees and power lines and take care when driving.
* Listen to the ABC radio or check www.ses.tas.gov.au for further advice.
