The storm is moving east towards NSW, bringing further rain to flooded areas of the state.
Up to 30mm of rain is predicted to fall on Thursday and another 20mm on Friday.
The BoM issued a severe weather warning for heavy rain, which may lead to flash flooding and damaging winds ranging from 90km/h to 110km/h for more elevated areas in the east.
The Hunter, Mid North Coast, Riverina, parts of the Central West Slopes, Northern, Southern and Central Tablelands, Snowy Mountains and the ACT ranges are among the regions expected to be affected.
“A vigorous low pressure system and associated cold front will move through NSW today, with damaging winds forecast around the low as it moves through inland NSW, and with the front as it passes over the NSW ranges,” a BOM warning said.
“Widespread rain, showers and isolated thunderstorms are also likely with this system.”
The State Emergency Service predicts high water marks will occur around the Hunter some time in next week.
