Up to 250 millimetres of rain could soak parts of south-east NSW during the next 24 hours as another major weather event unfolds across the state.
The first drops from the current system commenced falling on Wednesday as a pool of polar air, called an upper low, drifted across the state's west — although rain remained light and patchy yesterday due to a relatively dry atmosphere. As opposed to last week's system which quickly tracked south to Tasmania, on this occasion the Tasman low will remain slow moving for several days, leading to a continuation of rain on Friday and Saturday from about Sydney to the Victorian border.
