They cancelled a similar warning up here one year .... about $5 million worth of damage later the meteorological centre said "Oops! It shifted course .... Guess we got that one wrong"

Still storms going through the Southern Highlands, Nowra and Dapto/Roberston from the weather radar.

The storms in the Sydney Basin earlier formed close to the coast rather than over the mountains. Looks clear now.

Just had a look at their radar (http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR283.shtml) and looks like some heavy rain/hail already
