NSW gets ready for a second drenching

Kim Westcott, Thursday March 9, 2017 - 14:03 AEDT

Coastal New South Wales will see a short break in the rain as we
head towards the weekend, but there is more rain on the way.

Up and down the NSW coast, a lingering low pressure trough and a
large low brought rain to kick-off autumn over last weekend and
for much of this week.

In the South Coast, Batemans Bay, Bega, Ulladulla and Moruya have
already picked up their average March rainfall. Most of the
Illawarra, Sydney and Hunter districts have seen over half of
their average March rainfall.

While patchy showers and cloudy skies have remained around the
coast since Monday, some sunnier skies are on the way. As a ridge
of high pressure builds along the coast, conditions will become
drier, warmer and sunnier, with this weekend looking to provide
some excellent washing weather.

As a new week approaches, so does a large rain-laden system. For
most places along the coast, Monday will see the conditions
deteriorate. By the time next weekend rolls around, southeastern
NSW could see another 20-50mm of rain, but all other eastern
districts could be looking at falls in the range of 50-100mm. For
the Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers, weekly rain totals could
exceed 150mm.
