Rain is coming this week to virtually all of New South Wales, most of which has been parched during the first three weeks of September.
Weather meteorologists Anthony Sharwood says rain will be heaviest in central and eastern parts of the state, with the possibility of especially heavy falls in the northeast corner, where totals exceeding 100 millimetres can be expected as a coastal trough forms later this week.
Mr Sharwood says the rain will arrive with a cloudband from the northwest – and whenever weather systems cross NSW from that direction in spring, warm air from the interior of the country tends to precede it.
It’s likely to be a wet end to the week for Inverell with rain forecast from this Thursday to Sunday.
