Flood Watch For The Lower Hunter And Central Coast
Issued at 01:52 PM EST on Monday 04 July 2022
Flood Watch Number: 6
FLOODING IS OCCURRING IN MANY CATCHMENTS AROUND THE ILLAWARRA, SYDNEY, CENTRAL COAST AND HUNTER REGIONS, INCLUDING MAJOR FLOODING IN THE HAWKESBURY AND NEPEAN RIVERS.
FURTHER FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN THE CENTRAL COAST AND HUNTER REGIONS DURING MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

The East Coast Low has weakened into a trough over the Hunter district, while a strong high over the Great Australian Bight extends a ridge to the southern Tasman Sea. The combination of these features is bringing wet and windy conditions to many eastern areas of New South Wales, with severe weather about central parts of the coast. Weather conditions will gradually ease during Monday and Tuesday, although the trough will linger on the northern half of the coast through to Tuesday.
This may cause localised flash flooding and renewed and higher flooding along rivers where flood warnings are current as well as bring flooding to additional parts of the Hunter and Central Coast.
A Severe Weather Warning for Heavy Rainfall has been issued for the Metropolitan, Illawarra and parts of Hunter and Central Tablelands Forecast Districts.
The weather system may cause riverine flooding during Monday and Tuesday for the catchments listed. Flood Classes (minor, moderate, major) are only defined for catchments where the Bureau provides a flood warning service.

Catchments likely to be affected include:
Newcastle Area
Lake Macquarie
Macdonald River
Northern Sydney
Southern Sydney
Parramatta River
Wollombi Brook and Lower Hunter River
Central Coast
Upper Coxs River

Flood Warnings are current for the Nepean, Hawkesbury and Colo Rivers, Lower Hunter River, Wollombi Brook, Paterson and Williams Rivers, Shoalhaven River, Macquarie River, Lachlan River,
Culgoa and Bokhara Rivers, Bogan River, Darling River, Cooks River, Georges Basin, St Georges Basin, and Tuggerah Lake (central coast)
