MSBWX General Weather Observations: Cool, warm to hot conditions expected today over parts of SA. Thunderstorms can be expected in parts of  Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, Northern Cape, Free State, Eastern Cape and Kwazulu Natal. The Western Cape can expect isolated showers in the west, spreading to the south coast in the afternoon. Keep an eye out for severe thunderstorms with strong wind and possible large hail in areas of the country. We are once again in for some interesting weather. An upper air trough over the interior and a cut-off low south of the country may just bring severe weather.  So let's keep an eye on the weather for the next two days.
