Two weather systems are bringing the deluge, prompting flood warnings across several regions.
In New South Wales, warnings are in place around Sydney, the Hawkesbury, Liverpool, Tempe, and Camden.

A powerful low-pressure system is moving towards both states, which will combine with the effects of a trough making its way down the coast.
Residents in affected areas are urged to put together their essential supplies, including important documents and medicines, in case they have to leave.
Some models suggest as much as 150mm could fall in just six hours, with severe thunderstorms also possible.
