Chances are high we’ll be behind schedule. Mother Nature is Boss lady. Thanks for understanding 🤷
LOCAL NEWS: It's time to batten down the hatches, a storm is brewing off the coast… and the Hunter is in its path.
Tipped to potentially be one of the most intense weather systems to hit the region in recent years, Newcastle and the Hunter are in the firing line.
Winds are forecast at 45km/h, with gusts that could reach 125km/h plus up to 90mm of rain in just 24 hours.
Flash flooding, fallen trees, and coastal erosion are all on the cards.
The NSW SES is urging thousands to get ready.. and that includes us.
What should you do today?
• Clear gutters and drains before the rain hits.
• Secure loose outdoor items — furniture, bins, play equipment.
• Park away from trees where possible.
• Charge phones, power banks, and check torches.
• Avoid coastal areas — surf conditions will be dangerous.
• Stay informed via Bureau of Meteorology and NSW SES hazards near me app and website.

We’re no strangers to storms here in the Hunter, but as this system tightens and the pressure drops, this is one to take seriously.
NEWFM will be keeping you updated. For now — prepare, check on your people, and stay safe.
