Who could argue that at the moment with flooding rain spreading across the region today with more that 150mm coming down across Newcastle, well over 100mm for Tamworth. The heavy rain focus is going to shift to the northern NSW and SE QLD coasts over the next 24 hours with flooding likely.

Dangerous beach conditions will also develop.
