Very strong winds have been shredding parts of South Australia on Tuesday, downing trees and peeling off roofs and there is more to come. An intense low pressure system developed over the Great Australian Bight on Monday and it has been slowly crossing the south of the state, generating damaging winds on the peninsulas and Kangaroo Island. At 9:30am on Tuesday Port Lincoln recorded wind gusts of 107km/h, with help from thunderstorms, its strongest wind in eight years. Significant property damage occurred as far north as the Coffin Bay area. On Tuesday afternoon wind reached about 80km/h in the suburbs of Adelaide, peaking at 91km/h at Outer Harbor and 89km/h in the Elizabeth area. This is still strong enough to bring down trees and power lines. In the city wind peaked at 75km/h, the third time in the past month that wind has become this strong, making it the windiest spring in at least a decade. The low pressure system is now weakening but has potential to produce damaging winds in Adelaide, Mt Lofty Ranges, Mid North, Flinders, Upper and Lower South East and Murraylands in the afternoon and evening. Overnight the low will take the strongest winds into Victoria, leading to calmer conditions in SA. The low was linked to a trough which brought some tropical moisture, leading to rain and storms, bringing the biggest rain of the year to parts of the southeast overnight. Cape Jaffa, Robe and Coonawarra all received more than 20mm. This won't be the end of the wild weather. During Wednesday evening a cold front will move in from the Southern Ocean, bringing potentially damaging winds to Kangaroo Island the southern peninsulas and the South East. For Adelaide and the area further west and north wind is unlikely to get as strong as on Tuesday. From Thursday significant easing is likely as a high pressure system takes over. However, next week a low pressure system may form in the north of the state and help cause wind to increase.
