Looming Doom! These Massive Clouds That Moved Over Sydney Today Will Leave You Speechless (Photos+Video)

Greater Newcastle and Maitland in the Hunter region
 

Thunder and ominous black clouds gave a solid warning of the looming storm, with unbelievable images capturing the impending weather front before the skies opened up over Sydney on Friday afternoon.

A wall of dark clouds and thunderheads crawled across the sky with social media flooded with amazing images and videos showing the storm front roll over the beaches in Sydney's east.

This is coming after South Australia and Victoria were hammered by wild weather this week, with Adelaide and Port Lincoln experiencing flash flooding after major storms. Melbourne also received a tornado warning, although the weather incident did not eventuate to the extent predicted.

Residents have been warned to expect large hailstones, heavy rainfall which could lead to flash flooding and damaging winds.
