FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A band of showers and thunderstorms expected to move across South Australia on Saturday could be a blessing or a curse for firefighters battling a bushfire in the Flinders Ranges, the weather bureau says.
More than 200 firefighters are working to control the Woolundunga blaze, which is threatening the town of Wilmington.
The blaze has destroyed almost 8000 hectares of scrub since it was sparked on Wednesday.
The Country Fire Service (CFS) said while the blaze did not pose an immediate threat to homes or other property, deteriorating weather conditions were a concern.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to move across the fireground late on Saturday afternoon, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Mark Anolak said.
The rain moving across the state could help quell the fire but there could be complications in terms of wind changes, he said.
“The bad news is obviously the wind changes but the good news is hopefully the fires will get a helping hand from the precipitation later today,” he said.
Mr Anolak said winds were currently blowing from the north but could swing west as the rain approached.
He said the hilly region in which the fire was burning made it difficult to predict which way the winds would blow.
“We have got weather stations surrounding the fire at the moment but obliviously in hilly areas, the winds could be doing anything around the hills so it is really difficult to tell exactly,” he said.
“We’ve got northerly winds today with a southwesterly wind change later this afternoon however, with the rain and showers approaching, we could see a temporary wind change from the west for a brief period.”
