Continuing to closely monitor the system that'll bring rain to #NSW this weekend. While there'll be rain in the Nth East it's still too early to safely say what the impacts will be in #drought areas. But as we get closer forecasts will continue to firm up https://t.co/dBZRMkQ7oepic.twitter.com/QkJSczbt0f

A lot of interest in potential rainfall this weekend. The 4-day forecast shows 10-15mm in #SEQ with more in northern NSW. Storms may produce isolated heavier falls in #Queensland, but the results are likely to be patchy. Fingers crossed🤞for our farmers: https://t.co/S2PD9t9b8Xpic.twitter.com/GnAc2uCWGi
