Severe thunderstorms including large hail stones and damaging winds are moving over the NSW Central Coast, while about 300 Ausgrid customers remain powerless.
The front was on Monday morning moving east towards Gosford and is forecast to hit the area about 8:45 a.m. before heading towards the coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology said damaging winds and hail were likely, and advised locals to move their cars and items away from trees. A safe distance should also be kept from fallen power lines.
The Hunter region is also set to experience thunderstorm conditions, as well as parts of the mid-north coast and northern Sydney.
Ausgrid on Monday morning said about 300 homes and businesses across Sydney and the Central Coast remain without power after services were restored to almost 140,000 customers over the past seven days.
“Ausgrid is in the final stages of the recovery process with some hard-to-access properties and homes with unique repair issues awaiting power restoration,” the energy provider said in a statement.
The company expected outages in some remote locations like Calabash Bay, Milsons Passage and Scotland Island to extend into this week but said it would provide generators to such customers.
