The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting potentially severe thunderstorms and damaging winds in the west of the state that will then move east.

According to the BOM’s Jenny Horvat:

Rainfall is expected for most of South Australia over the next few days, driven by a cut-off low pressure system and associated trough.

Showers will extend across the south and west on Thursday, tending to rain at times in the far west and far south. Showers, rain and thunderstorms will extend across most of the State on Friday, then move south and eastwards on Saturday.

Thunderstorms across the north on Friday and Saturday may lead to localised heavy falls, most likely over the North East Pastoral district.

In Adelaide the forecast is for up to 15mm to fall on Saturday:
