Severe thunderstorms have developed west of Port Augusta this afternoon.

Weather Situation: A trough over western SA will move eastwards ahead of a cold front which is forecast to cross the state later this evening. Increased winds aloft combined with a moist and unstable airmass means severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Port Augusta and Quorn.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* Secure or put away loose items around your property.
* Move cars under cover or away from trees.
* Keep clear of fallen power lines.
