A cold front set to sweep through parts of New South Wales today is expected to trigger storms, showers and windy conditions.

The forecast comes after severe thunderstorms lashed parts of Victoria yesterday, which resulted in widespread power outages across homes and businesses.

The low pressure trough also triggered severe thunderstorms in southern New South Wales.

Conditions are not expected to be nearly as severe in New South Wales today.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a marine wind warning for Sydney enclosed waters, the Hunter Coast, the Sydney Coast, the Illawarra Coast, the Batemans Coast and the Eden Coast.
