00:00New South Wales is bracing for days of heavy rain, damaging winds and damaging surf conditions,

00:08mostly at the moment concentrated around the Hunter and the mid-north coast.

00:11It's all courtesy of a trough that's stalled in place and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

00:17It's been cradled by this high-pressure system that's keeping skies clear for the rest of the country,

00:21really helping to chill out the south-east.

00:23Widespread frost is expected again tomorrow.

00:26In the west, a very different story.

00:27We've got heat, we've got some gusty winds and some high fire danger to keep an eye on.

00:31But for eastern Australia, well, the south-eastern corner is certainly feeling that chill, a taste of winter.

00:36But for New South Wales, we could be looking at 180 millimetres for some in the gauges through the next 24 hours.

00:43And then through the outlook, we've got days of that rain remaining essentially in place at this stage.

00:48It looks like we aren't going to see any significant relief until we get towards the weekend.

00:53I mean, there will be a bit of an easing of the heaviest falls, but wet weather will continue for parts of the east right through the week ahead.

01:00And that means we could be talking about hundreds of millimetres.

01:03Flood watch is current as a result.

01:05It is going to be a very wild week ahead.

01:08And tomorrow, more wet weather for Sydney.

01:10Brisbane as well.

01:11You'll see some showers.

01:12But all of the other capitals are staying fine.

01:14Bit of a chill still for the south-east to start, but the recovery is not too bad.

01:1816 in Canberra, Melbourne's warming up to 19, 17 in Hobart, Adelaide will get to 18.

01:23Perth's cooling off a touch, 23 your maximum, and up top Darwin's staying fine with a top of 31.
