Residents should brace for more rain, with an east coast low forecast to develop off the south-east Queensland coast on Friday, July 22, bringing wave and wind impacts to coastal areas along the northern NSW coastline.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is predicting a very high chance of rain into the weekend but clearing by Monday on the Central Coast.
Predictions are for up to 15mm on Friday, easing to up to 8mm on Saturday and up to 4mm on Sunday.
The strength of the wind and waves will be highly dependent on the strength and position of the low relative to the coast and will be closely monitored during the next few days.
Hazardous to potentially dangerous surf conditions are expected from Friday and will likely continue throughout the weekend and extensive coastal erosion could occur in parts.
At this stage, although some unseasonal rain is expected from Friday the heaviest falls are expected to be located offshore.
While there is no Flood Watch current, the Bureau will continue to monitor conditions and update warnings based on the latest forecasts.
Communities are encouraged to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings through the Bureau’s website and BOM Weather app and follow the advice of emergency services.
