Big rainfall totals are expected across the region over the next few days leading to flood warnings from the Bureau of Meteorology.
A surface trough extending from the Illawarra region into the Tasman Sea will deepen during Thursday in response to an upper low over New South Wales.
A strengthening humid southeasterly flow to the south of this trough is leading to persistent rain about the Illawarra, northern parts of the South Coast and adjacent Southern and Central Tablelands during Thursday and into Friday.
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is forecast for parts of the Illawarra, South Coast and Southern and Central Tablelands districts.
Heavy falls are expected to move to the northern parts of the area in the afternoon and evening.
Already we’ve had more than 142mm at Currarong, 84mm at Jervis Bay and 69mm in Ulladulla, 70mm at Lake Conjola and 49mm at Burrill Lake.
