The Bureau of Meteorology has issued another Severe Thunderstorm Warning for DAMAGING WINDS and LARGE HAILSTONES for Lismore and the Northern Rivers.

A humid and unstable airmass is combining with a trough of low-pressure and seabreezes to produce severe thunderstorms over northeast New South Wales this afternoon and evening.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging wind gusts, large hailstones and accumulations of small hail in the warning area over the next hour or two. Locations that may be affected include Lismore, Grafton, Kyogle, Yamba, Maclean and Dorrigo.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:

* Move your car under cover or away from trees.

* Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony.

* Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences.

* Report fallen power lines to either Ausgrid (131 388), Endeavour Energy (131 003), Essential Energy (132 080) or Evoenergy (131 093) as shown on your power bill.

* Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall.

* Unplug computers and appliances.

* Avoid using the phone during the storm.

* Stay indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets indoors as well.

* Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires.

* For emergency help in floods and storms, ring the SES (NSW and ACT) on 132 500.

The next warning is due to be issued by 6:55 pm.
