Weather Situation: A very moist and unstable airmass supported by an approaching upper trough is producing scattered showers and isolated severe thunderstorms over inland parts. Storms are generally slow moving and may continue throughout the evening.

Emergency services advise people to:
* Park your car undercover away from trees.

* Put your pets somewhere safe and make sure they can be identified in case they get lost.
* Do not drive now unless you have to because conditions are dangerous.
* Tell friends, family and neighbours in the area.
* Go inside a strong building now. Stay inside until the storm has passed.
