Please don't fly drones anywhere near active fire zones.

Firefighting efforts on Tasmania’s east coast are being hampered by unauthorised drones flying in active fire zones, prompting urgent warnings from authorities.

Multiple firefighting aircraft are operating over Stieglitz, Dianas Basin and Peron Dunes, with the Tasmania Fire Service reporting drone sightings that pose risks to crews on the ground and in the air.

TFS says rogue drones can force the grounding of vital aircraft, with operators banned from flying near bushfires under national aviation rules.

Authorities are urging people to stay clear, stressing that drones near fires can endanger lives and hinder efforts to protect communities and property.

The storm front is moving through SA literally everywhere else but Adelaide because Nick's in town ⚡🤣

This is going to be a very bad weekend, make no mistake.

When it comes to serious stuff like this, I don't water it down. Call me scaremongering... This is scary!!!

This bushfire event we're looking at over the next 48 hours unfortunately isn't looking good, particularly for the East Coast, Northeast, and Flinders Island.

There's two parts to it. Today: Saturday.

A weak cold front is expected to cross the state, but it's going to be a dry line; there's not much moisture that will bring rain. If you do get rainfall, you'll be lucky to get 1mm. With a very warm airmass being drawn southward ahead of this cold front, our major concern is high-based thunderstorms this morning and particularly this afternoon as the weak cold front crosses the state.

Apart from the slight risk of Damaging Winds if you get any down busts that's always a possibility Thunderstorms are not expected to be Severe however they are expected to be very lightning active.

Dry lightning across a very dry landscape under increasing North to Northwesterly winds the stage is set for a fire outbreak it's just a matter of where these storms will move and how quickly any fire's can be contained.

Problem number 2 Sunday and this is the hit from behind literally.

A stronger Cold front is expected to cross the state during the day bringing Likely widespread damaging W/ SW winds.

This cold front is expected to bring Showers even snow down to 700m but the Central North and Eastern half of the state remains dry.

Wind driven fires are expected to be very difficult to control and fast moving under these circumstances even under a cooler change.

Winds are expected to ease into Monday but remaining Gusty to Strong throughout the state finally easing Tuesday.

People need to be proactive and prepared don't wait for a warning to take action by then it's already too late.

Everyone should have a Bushfire Emergency plan and stay updated.

If you see smoke report it immediately to 000.

No one should be burning anything this weekend.

Anyway i will do my best to keep you updated ❤️ look after eachother and please be safe.

Thunderstorms are expected overnight into Saturday morning and afternoon for Northwest Coast, Northern , Northeast, East Coast, Southeast and Midlands.

Thunderstorms are expected to be high based with very little rainfall leading to the risk of dry lightning.

Dry lightning is a Major concern with increasing North to Northwesterly winds during Saturday.
