Considering the information below I'm a touch perplex (but not surprised) that SA isn't forecasting something a bit more significant:-
Peak wind gusts of 90 to 100 km/h are expected over the Lower Western, Riverina and western parts of the Upper Western district during Tuesday, especially near the front. Towns in the affected area include Broken Hill, Wentworth, Ivanhoe, Balranald, Deniliquin, Hay, Griffith, Narrandera, Wilcannia and Tibooburra.
The very windy conditions will produce extensive areas of raised dust and will result in very high to extreme fire danger conditions.
Over Alpine areas of the Southwest Slopes, Southern Tablelands and ACT, winds will strengthen to average 60 to 70 km/h by late Tuesday with gusts to around 110 km/h about the peaks.
As it will most likely miss Adelaide but hit areas of East Region - I would have thought similar warnings should apply to the Mallee, Riverland & south east- oh well, from past experience I'm not surprised after all if it doesn't impact Adelaide it don't count
I'm also surprised SES teams are possibly being assembled for Victoria, for the same reason I didn't think it was a good idea to send multitudes of CFS teams on the weekend of Black Saturday - there is still a significant risk at home. Who was it who said "look after your own backyard first". Victoria is a good example of don't put all of your eggs in one basket
On that note I'm off to have several beers & pray to the gods of safe air travel
cheers
