Millions of Australians are warned of severe thunderstorms on Saturday, with risks of large hailstones, destructive winds, and flash flooding, particularly across eastern and northern NSW. The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts storms affecting Sydney, the Hunter Valley, and Wollongong, with the greatest storm risk from late morning to early afternoon. Queensland and parts of Victoria will also see storms, though less severe, while temperatures will vary across states, with highs of 32C in Sydney and cooler conditions in southern regions. The wild weather is expected to clear later Saturday into early Sunday, leading to a cooler day across NSW.
