A severe weather watch for the Clutha and Dunedin areas
was posted tonight, the MetService saying southwest gales in
the region were expected to last until early tomorrow.
Forecasters said wind gusts could possibly exceed 110 kmh
about exposed coastal hills and headlands during this period.
Winds in exposed locations could possibly be strong enough to
damage trees, powerlines and insecure roofs and make driving
hazardous for high-sided vehicles and motorcycles.
The watch would remain in force until reviewed at 10am
tomorrow.
