Widespread rain to fall in all states as two storms form in Australia's east and west

ABC  

The flooding rains described as "dangerous and threatening" by the Bureau of Meteorology that are already sweeping along the east coast are just a taste of a soaking forecast for more than two-thirds of the country next week. Key points: The NSW Mid North Coast is facing intense rain, possible life threatening flooding, hazardous surf and gusty conditions A blocking high is directing moist air on to NSW A north-west cloudband will extend from the Kimberley to Tasmania A deepening low off the New South Wales coast is due to meet a north-west cloudband stretching from the Kimberley to Tasmania. The NSW Mid North Coast has already seen torrential rain and is facing the risk of life-threatening flooding, hazardous surf, and gusty conditions as a blocking high in the Tasman Sea directs a strong, moist flow towards the NSW coast. "At this time of year it's typical to get 35, 40 degrees C there, and we're talking temperatures on the order of a maximum of 20 degrees," Mr Browne said. "This past fire season has been the quietest fire season since the 2010-2011 fire season, so more than a decade," said Ben Shepherd from the NSW RFS.
