"We have reissued a severe weather warning that continues on today," she said.

"The top wind speed was recorded at Mount Wellington in the early hours of the morning, reaching 131km/h, so the elevated areas are seeing very strong winds.

"The worst of it will be from this morning until the mid-afternoon where the wind will begin to ease and then it will ease further into tomorrow morning."

Locations which may be affected include Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, St Helens, Strahan, New Norfolk and Hobart.

Damaging west to north westerly winds averaging 60 to 70 km/h are possible over most of Tasmania today, with peak gusts expected to reach 90 to 100 km/h.
