Weather Situation
Extreme fire dangers slowly easing this evening as temperatures
cool from their afternoon peak while dry, moderate to fresh
easterly winds persist. Fresh and gusty seabreezes pushing across
the Midwest Inland and northern Yarra Yarra this afternoon and
evening.
On Thursday the focus of fresh northeast to southeasterly winds
shifts further south and east, and combined with hot and dry
conditions will lead to elevated fire dangers. Winds locally strong
and gusty in the morning and a fresh and gusty seabreeze is
expected to extend inland across northern parts of the warning area
in the afternoon and evening. Further to this is the risk of
thunderstorms from early Thursday across the southern half of the
warning area.
