“This wet weather is being driven by moist easterly flow and pushing against the east coast, driving these widespread areas of showers and storms,” said meteorologist Miriam Bradley.
“These areas extend through parts of central and south-east Queensland, right down the east coast of New South Wales, and will, especially from Saturday onwards, spill into parts of Victoria and Tasmania as well,” she said.
Early next week, showers are predicted to ease back through parts of the south-east in particular, but the risk of heavy falls will continue in some areas.
It is essential to stay up to date via the Bureau’s website, the BOM Weather app, and via their social media.
