Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Urgent warning issued
Rain has already set in for much of NSW, southern Queensland and part of Victoria. Up to 100mm of rain will soak some regions by Sunday, when a low pressure system will hit the NSW coast between Sydney and Port Macquarie.
'Intense rain and damaging winds will hit eastern NSW early next week, with flooding likely in some parts of the state,' Weatherzone's Ben Domensino said.
Heavy rains, damaging winds and flash flooding could develop into early next week as temperatures plunge.
'The coastal low will be dragging the cold wind over the coast,' the Bureau of Meteorology's Edward Medlock said.
He said the system would 'linger 'over the NSW coast for days.
'A big wad of cold air ends up sitting over the state, as that makes its approach to the coast and that low pressure starts developing over the ocean, it's going to become an extended period of prolonged rain.'
He said there is an 'intensity aspect' related to the weather system.
Bureau colleague Miriam Bradbury said the rain on Friday will be concentrated in south-east Queensland and pushing down into NSW.
'In Queensland is we are going to see a gradual easing trend through Saturday afternoon and Sunday in particular, with a much dryer end to the weekend.
'But is a different story for NSW where the wet weather is likely to continue into early next week with the new system on Sunday.'
The Bureau said there could be widespread rainfall totals of 50 to 80mm over Monday. The Sydney, Hunter and Mid North Coastal regions are expected to bear the brunt of it.
Gusty southerly winds will hit the coastal regions, he warned, as stronger winds buffer the ranges and by the end of next week much of NSW is expected to have been drenched.

Death toll from South Korea rains rises to 16
Heavy rainfall for five consecutive days has left at least 16 people dead across South Korea and another 10 missing. Two people died and as many went missing in the resort town of Gapyeong on Sunday after a landslide engulfed houses and flooding swept away vehicles. The interior ministry said eight people were discovered dead and six were reported missing in the southern town of Sancheong on Saturday after heavy rainfall caused flash floods and landslides. The overall death toll stood at 16 as of 4pm local time on Sunday, The Korea Herald reported, citing fire authorities. President Lee Jae Myung ordered the worst-hit areas, mostly in the south of the country, to be declared special disaster zones, which would entitle them to government support for damage recovery and relief. Interior minister Yoon Ho Jung asked local authorities to 'mobilise all available resources' to carry out 'swift emergency restoration work' after the government launched a multi-agency recovery effort. Mr Yoon announced that a prompt damage assessment would be launched to develop restoration plans for damaged facilities, including homes, commercial buildings and roads. 'The ministry and local governments need to ensure that the displaced residents staying in temporary shelters do not face any inconvenience by providing a sufficient amount of relief supplies and making their utmost effort in emergency restoration to help evacuees return to their normal lives as quickly as possible,' he said. Last week, three people were found dead in a submerged car and another person was killed when their car was buried by soil and concrete after a retaining wall of an overpass collapsed in Osan, just south of Seoul. The saturated soil had increased the risk of landslides even in areas receiving relatively modest rainfall. The downpours swept through South Chungcheong, South Jeolla and South Gyeongsang regions this past week, with rainfall exceeding 500mm breaking daily rainfall records in July and forcing the evacuation of at least 3,840 people from their homes, the interior ministry said. The rain stopped in most of South Korea on Sunday and heavy rain alerts were subsequently lifted, the ministry added. This period of heavy rainfall was expected to be followed by a heat wave, the country's official weather forecaster said.
