The east coast low has formed to the south and is hammering the New South Wales south coast and Illawarra. Over 130mm has already come down at Ulladulla causing flooding.
The low will track slightly to the north before pulling away from the coast over the next 24 hours. Overnight and tomorrow morning winds will increase and a burst of heavy rain and strong winds will hit the Central Coast and Newcastle. There will be the risk of flash flooding and damage as the system passes over this part of the region. Seas and swell will increase quickly becoming dangerous overnight.
Further north and inland there will be some shower activity for the Mid North Coast and southern parts of the North West. For northern New South Wales and south east Queensland, conditions will be fine and mostly sunny with westerly winds.
The low will move away from the Coast during Wednesday afternoon and conditions will ease by Thursday.
