Heavy downpours of rain throughout yesterday, June 2nd, 2010, have led to a warning of flash flooding from the Bureau of Meteorology for the area.
There is a deep trough lying off the North Coast that will intensify into a low-pressure system, dumping more heavy rain over the next 48 hours according to Forecasters from the Bureau.
Bureau weather observer Roger Brown said flash flooding is expected once the weather system reaches its full potential.
“It is one of these coastal lows that forms off our area bringing strong south-easterly winds and heavy rains,” Mr Brown said.
“It is similar to the low that brought flooding to the south coast earlier this week and flash floods are expected between Yamba and Taree through until Saturday,” he said.
In the event of flooding the SES can be reached on 132 500.
