Cloud has been increasing across the region. Tonight, rain heavy at times will move in across the Central Coast and Hunter. Welcome rain will come down across the NW. The danger area appears to be in between Port Macquarie and the QLD border, at this stage. This where the ECL is likely to be at its peak. Expect strong to gale force winds. Heavy, squally periods of rain causing flash flooding and potentially broad scale river flooding. A dramatic increase in seas and swell, combined with large tides could cause coastal erosion and possibly sea inundation.
The storm will be short lived moving out to sea on Thursday but strong onshore winds and squally showers will continue until the weekend. Be prepared and take care over the next few days.
