NSW northern regions brace for more rain, as flood warnings continue
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) continues to warn of heavy rainfall on the way for the NSW Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers regions, as emergency crews work to protect homes.
Key points:
- The BOM is warning of flash flooding
- Emergency services dealt with 300 calls for help overnight
- Some areas have seen nearly 400 millimetres of rain since Saturday morning
A low pressure trough off the southern Queensland coast is sparking heavy rainfall that may ease on Sunday but come back with full force later in the evening.
The bad weather is expected to continue across Monday before easing on Tuesday.
The BOM said rainfall could be matched with thunderstorms, producing a high risk of flash flooding.
A flood watch and severe weather warning remain in…
