A Severe Weather Warning for Damaging and locally Destructive Winds has been issued across all forecast districts for tomorrow, Wednesday, 22 October.
We're expecting Damaging winds to develop over most of the state, with locally destructive wind gusts possible about the southwest coast from the late morning.
Locations which may be affected include Horsham, Warrnambool, Bendigo, Shepparton, Seymour, Maryborough, Ballarat, Geelong, Melbourne, Wangaratta, Traralgon and Bairnsdale.
Now is the time to prepare. Community members can prepare by safely securing loose items such as outdoor furniture, trampolines and umbrellas and by parking vehicles undercover or away from trees where possible. Victorians are also encouraged to limit unnecessary travel, particularly in coastal and heavily wooded areas.
