Damaging wind is spreading along the NSW coast this afternoon before heavy showers follow tomorrow morning. Winds have become damaging along the coast from the South Coast to the Illawarra as well as in the Snowy Mountains. Montague Island, off the NSW South Coast, experienced winds gusting to 98km/h at 2pm today while winds at Jervis Bay reached 87km/h around lunch time. On Sydney Harbour, winds have managed to reach 78km/h, but most places have stronger winds to come.
A low pressure system off the NSW coast is deepening today as an associated trough moves north along the coast. South-to-southwesterly winds are increasing offshore, with the strongest winds expected for coastal locations during peak hour. This should make leaving work a treacherous journey for many people.
