Powerful winds reaching up to 100km/h are set to hit South Australia on Monday after severe weather caused widespread damage across Western Australia over the weekend.
The storm system tore down trees and power lines in WA, triggered hundreds of emergency calls and left thousands of homes without electricity.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for South Australia, with damaging winds, heavy showers and possible flash flooding expected across several regions, including Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Ceduna and Mount Gambier.
Residents are being urged to stay indoors during the worst conditions, avoid windows and move vehicles away from trees.
Meteorologists say the same low-pressure system is now moving east and could bring severe weather to Victoria and NSW later this week.
In WA, wind gusts reached as high as 135km/h in some coastal areas. Emergency crews responded to fallen trees, damaged roofs and washed-up boats, while thousands of properties remain without power.
Forecasters also warned of dangerous surf and unusually high tides along parts of the WA coast.
Sydney is expected to experience stronger winds from Tuesday as the weather system continues moving across the country.
