A deep trough and low are generating rainstorms which are hitting hard in southeast Queensland and northeast NSW with the torrential downpour stretching right down the coast to eastern regions of Victoria.
The wet weather has been consistent throughout Victoria and NSW this week, with SES crews being called out to building damage reports and flooded roads in both states.
The NSW South Coast is at risk of flash floods from the rain and meteorologists say the risk will stick around until at least tomorrow. In WA, the western Pilbara all the way down to the southwest capes have already seen 50 millimetres fall this week thanks to a mix of cold fronts and infeed of tropical moisture.
While the rain may hold off on hitting Melbourne, Sydney has already been hit hard with the downpour and there are current storm warnings in place for the Queensland capital.
Authorities are urging people to be cautious when driving into work this morning and ask that drivers avoid any roads with water planes.
The chilly weather will stick around coming into the weekend.
Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra saw their coldest day of the year on Tuesday, with tops of just 12.9C for the Capital.
The above average rainfall for southeastern parts of the country will ease slightly tomorrow as the low moves out to the Tasman, but a band of rain sweeping through from WA across the outback will make its way to the east coast by Saturday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
