Authorities are warning of the possibility of flash flooding through parts of central Victoria, with heavy storms set to hit the area.
The Country Fire Authority (CFA) has issued a severe storm alert, warning of large hailstones, damaging winds and heavy rainfall.
The weather bureau’s Richard Russell said the potential for heavy rainfall was of particular concern.
“These thunderstorms are quite large and slow moving, and with them being slow-moving, they tend to dump quite a bit of rainfall in a rather small area, so the potential for very heavy rainfall there which may lead to flash flooding,” he said.
Mr Russell said fire-affected areas would be particularly vulnerable and warned people to be alert to the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
“Heavy rainfall in these areas sometimes do contain debris, such as soil, ash, or burnt out trees, rocks,” he said.
“It can increase the potential for landslides in mountainous areas when we do get the combination of recently affected fire areas and heavy rainfall.”
