Storms, strong winds in SA
A cold front that moved across southern SA during the evening brought storms and brief squally winds to Kangaroo Island and the Adelaide Hills. Wind gusted to 111km/h at Neptune Island, 60km SSE of Port Lincoln, and 91km/h atop Mt Lofty east of Adelaide, while storms accounted for most of the 25mm recorded to 9am Sunday at Allandale in central Kangaroo Island. Early morning storms on Sunday, produced by a secondary trough following the earlier cold front, brought 11.6mm in the hour to 5.30am at Roseworthy, 45km NNE of the Adelaide CBD.
