More severe weather is on its way for parts of both New South Wales and Western Australia this week, with flood warnings already in place for northern NSW.
Parts of Northern NSW were hit hard earlier in the year after devastating floods and severe weather conditions destroyed properties in Lismore and surrounding areas.
Now locals are being warned more floods are on their way, with heavy rainfall forecasted for Northern NSW.
Similarly, over in Western Australia in the state’s south west, heavy rain and damaging winds have been forecasted, which could bring dangerous flash flooding to the area.
Here’s what’s can be expected in each state this week.
New South Wales
Lismore residents are being warned they could be hit with more floods as rain continues in northern NSW.
The region has already endured repeated severe flooding in recent months, and the Bureau of Meteorology is warning more could be on the way after rain over the weekend.
Minor flood warnings are in place for the Wilsons River at Lismore on Monday morning around 11am as well as the Richmond River at Coraki and Bungawalbin.
