Get ready, NSW — especially if you're along the coast — because a wild weather system is brewing off the east coast, and it could pack a serious punch over the next couple of days.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is warning of a potential east coast low forming off the coast, which could become a “bomb cyclone” — that’s a system that forms fast and hits hard, often going from nothing to nasty in just a few days.
Today, the Mid North Coast is expected to feel the first impact. But things really ramp up tomorrow, especially for Sydney, where the worst of the weather is forecast.
What to expect:
Up to 90mm of rain could fall in Sydney in just 24 hours.
Winds of 45km/h, with gusts up to 125km/h.
Hazardous surf and wind warnings are already in place along the NSW coast.
Initial flood watch warnings are out for multiple river catchments, including the Hawkesbury-Nepean, Georges, Cooks, and the Illawarra and Sydney Coast regions.
If this system intensifies as expected, it could be the first east coast low to hit Sydney since 2022.
The NSW SES has urged residents from Bega to Coffs Harbour to get ready now — secure loose items, clear your gutters, and prepare for power outages and possible flash flooding.
This is definitely a good time to stay across BoM and SES updates, and avoid travel along the coast unless necessary.
It’s going to be a wild one — so stay safe and stay prepared.
