State braces for more wild weather
State braces for more wild weather
NSW residents will be bracing for additional wet weather, with more than 200mm of rain expected to batter some parts of the state this weekend.
Heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms are predicted across much of NSW and southwest Queensland this week, with showery conditions set to continue along the coast and the eastern ranges for the next few days, as a series of slow-moving, high-pressure systems crossing Tasmania maintain onshore easterly airstream across NSW, the Bureau of Meterology said.
The Bureau said while some heavier rainfall might impact the coastal fringe of the NSW central and mid north coast, total rainfall on Tuesday was unlikely to exceed about 30 to 50mm.
Along the southern half of the NSW coast, more than 100mm of rain is likely across the weekend, with some areas predicted to potentially receive more than 200mm.
