The clean-up from the last storm is barely complete but residents of Australia’s east coast are being warned to prepare for another deluge.
Early forecasts for this weekend are predicting another dangerous tempest, potentially resulting in heavy rainfall and high winds in Queensland and NSW, with up to 150mm of rainfall expected to fall within 24 hours.
Higgings Storm Chasing says a low pressure trough is on track to collide with a strong upper level trough, producing wild weather across western and south-west Queensland on Saturday and central and western NSW on Sunday.
On Monday, another low will potentially hit the NSW coast between Wollongong and Port Macquarie on Sunday evening, continuing into Monday.
Sydney is expected to be hit at around 4pm on Monday.
It’s bad news for thousands of people still cleaning up from the last big storm, which caused more than $50 million in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania earlier this month.
