Victorian authorities have issued a warning for very dangerous thunderstorms which could unleash flash flooding in parts of the state after the weather turned wild on Wednesday night.

The Bureau of Meteorology sent out a red alert warning for northern and western Melbourne, as well as the southern Macedon Ranges, for severe thunderstorms just before 7 a.m. on Jan. 27.
