What can we expect today?

More rain. Rising rivers.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for the Northern Rivers. There could be damaging winds and heavy rainfall.

Locally intense rainfall could lead to dangerous flash flooding. Thunderstorms are possible with six-hourly rainfall totals in excess of 200mm, possibly reaching up to 300mm.

Damaging wind gusts with peak gusts of about 90km/h are possible on the coast today, Tuesday March 29.

A separate severe thunderstorm warning will be issued if very dangerous thunderstorms with intense rainfall are detected.

Heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
