Tasmanians are in for another battering, with damaging winds of up to 100km/h set to pummel much of the state again tonight.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning covering western, central and eastern districts, including Hobart.
It follows gusts topping 100km/h that were recorded on Sunday night and into the early hours of Monday morning.
“Damaging northwesterly winds have eased this morning but are expected to redevelop from late this evening ahead of a cold front crossing tonight,” the bureau said.
“On Tuesday, damaging winds may temporarily ease during the early to mid morning before redeveloping again about much of the warning area during the afternoon as a secondary front crosses.”
“Gusty conditions are expected about the remainder of the state across Tuesday.”
Central and eastern areas, including Hobart, face winds averaging 50–60km/h, with damaging gusts around 100km/h from late tonight.
The West Coast is expected to cop the brunt of the conditions on Tuesday afternoon, with winds averaging 65–75km/h and peak gusts exceeding 100km/h.
Hobart, Strahan, New Norfolk, Bothwell, Geeveston, Dover, Strathgordon, Zeehan and Tarraleah are among the locations likely to be impacted.
The bureau says the wild conditions should ease below warning thresholds for most areas by late Tuesday night.
