Issued at 10:57 am Wednesday, 4 March 2020.... HEAVY RAIN TODAY AND THURSDAY FOR INLAND AND SOUTHEAST NSW. Weather Situation: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Esther, currently near the Northern Territory/Queensland border, is approaching New South Wales and deepening a low pressure trough over the western inland. Widespread rain is expected across the inland and southeast of New South Wales today as this trough deepens. Rain is likely to intensify tonight and during Thursday as the remnants of Esther move across the state. HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is possible across parts of inland and southeast New South Wales today and Thursday. Locally heavy rain is possible today, however the heaviest rain is expected for most areas from this evening and/or during Thursday. Thunderstorms are also possible, and likely to exacerbate rainfall rates and totals where they occur. LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL is possible with thunderstorms. For areas recently affected by fires, heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslips and debris across roads. A Flood Watch is current for the Murrumbidgee, Tumut, Queanbeyan and Belubula Rivers. In addition, Flood Warnings remain current for river systems across the northern inland. Conditions will ease across western parts of New South Wales late Thursday as the system moves further east.

03.01.2022 Deer oh deer oh deer! If only Rudolph and all the other reindeer had listened to Santa’s instructions on the Christmas reconnaissance run last night. Even SANTA... knows you should never drive through floodwater! Just as well the SES were on hand to rescue them! Don’t worry everyone SANTA and all the reindeer are safely back at the North Pole drying in front of a warm fire, where Mrs CLAUS is giving them all a nice warm hot chocolate and a stern talking to about driving through floodwater!
