Widespread rain with heavy falls are forecast for the North East during Wednesday.
The bureau says rainfall totals of 20 to 30mm are forecast with higher totals of 40mm possible on the ranges.
The forecast rainfall is expected to cause stream rises in the North East catchments.
If the rainfall is in the upper range of the forecast minor flooding may develop late Wednesday into Thursday.
In the interests of community safety the SES suggests following precautions:
- Don’t walk, ride or drive through floodwater,
- Don’t allow children to play in floodwater,
- Stay away from waterways and stormwater drains, and
- Keep well clear of fallen power lines
