WEATHER: WEEKEND RAIN ON THE WAY

Moist onshore winds are now settling in and by tomorrow, clouds will build to the point of producing isolated showers along the coast.

Drier north westerly winds will build by Friday, before the rain-bearing front moves through on Saturday.

Moderate to heavy falls will affect the Central Coast, Newcastle and Hunter region to the Mid North Coast.

The system will contract to north east NSW and south east QLD on Sunday where storms are likely.
