DAMAGING WINDS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND DAMAGING SURF IN THE EVENING

A low pressure system developing near the northeast New South Wales coast will move to the west of the island today. The low pressure system will bring damaging winds to the island from Sunday early afternoon with damaging surf possible from later Sunday evening.
