Severe thunderstorms could bring flash floods to South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales starting from Thursday night.

The storms are likely to hit SA first, as a low-pressure system extends from the north-west. Severe thunderstorms are then expected to spread through most of state into the evening.

“We could see flash flooding with thunderstorms through SA this evening, and also with the rain as it spreads across Victoria and then again into NSW,” said a Bureau of Meteorology extreme weather meteorologist, Phil King.

King said tropical moisture was bringing the higher falls, which could easily top 50mm as storms pass through SA and NSW.
