Rain-weary residents across New South Wales are being warned to prepare for more wet weather with a complex system expected to hit the state from today.
The system is predicted to bring heavy rain as far south as Jervis Bay up to the Queensland border.
The heaviest falls are due Thursday morning, with isolated showers in some areas potentially reaching up to 120 millimetres.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the exact location of the system was currently hard to predict.
However, minor to moderate flooding is possible for the Mid North Coast, Northern Rivers, Northern Tablelands, North-West Slopes and Plains, parts of the Hunter and parts of Greater Sydney.
Many of the areas identified at risk of flooding have been hit hard with heavy rainfall over recent months.
SES Deputy Commissioner Debbie Platz said communities could see flooding as soon as tonight.
"Depending on where this rain falls and how much of it falls, the flooding from this weather system is likely to commence overnight and tomorrow," she said.
"We know that the community is tired, and our volunteers are tired."
