Severe Thunderstorm Warning for heavy rainfall and damaging winds.
Stay informed: www.bom.gov.au/vic/warnings/
Issued at: 8:15 pm Sunday, 8 February 2026.
Where:
For people in parts of Northern Country, North Central, Central and North East Forecast Districts. Locations which may be affected include Seymour and Euroa.
When:
Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding and possible damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours.
Situation:
A surface trough moves through Victoria today, with a trough lingering over the eastern ranges. These trigger thunderstorms in a moist, unstable airmass, giving rise to severe thunderstorms.
What you should do:
The Victoria State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* If driving conditions are dangerous, safely pull over away from trees, drains, low-lying areas and floodwater. Avoid travel if possible.
* Stay safe by avoiding dangerous hazards, such as floodwater, mud, debris, damaged roads and fallen trees.
* Be aware - heat, fire or recent storms may make trees unstable and more likely to fall when it's windy or wet.
* Check that loose items, such as outdoor settings, umbrellas and trampolines are safely secured. Move vehicles under cover or away from trees.
* Stay indoors and away from windows.
* If outdoors, move to a safe place indoors. Stay away from trees, drains, gutters, creeks and waterways.
* Stay away from fallen powerlines - always assume they are live.
* Be aware that in fire affected areas, rainfall run-off into waterways may contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. Heavy rainfall may also increase the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
* Stay informed: Monitor weather warnings, forecasts and river levels at the Bureau of Meteorology website, and warnings through VicEmergency website/app/hotline.
Check www.bom.gov.au/weather-and-climate/warnings-and-alerts. Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
The next warning is due to be issued by 11:15 pm.
