According to news.com.au, who interviewed Sky News Weather‘s Samantha Chiari this morning, NSW folk might be in for a bit of a stormy eve which is really putting a dampener on my plans to walk home without my shoes turning into squelchy bogs.
“There is the potential for a super cell storm this afternoon or evening and that could bring heavy rain and damaging winds,” she told the news outlet.
The Bureau of Meteorology, aka my favourite site in the entire world, is encouraging NSW folk to keep an eye on the weather warnings today.

As yet, they haven’t issued a specific warning – however they have said there’s a 90% chance of showers and a thunderstorm is “likely” for Sydney, along with gusty winds. NSW SES are also warning of impending storms.
