The state’s beleaguered Northern Rivers was spared from further flooding on Friday night, but more significant rainfall across the state is likely for next week, warns the Bureau of Meteorology.
Heavy thunderstorms on Friday night failed to materialise, although Coffs Harbour and Wauchope on the mid-north coast both saw flash flooding as Wauchope received 117mm of rain in 24 hours.Sydney is also set to cop a drenching over the weekend and into next week, as the low-pressure system causes rain from Northern NSW down to the Illawarra.Port Botany and Williamstown near Newcastle are both likely to see heavy rainfall as we move into next week.
