Heavy rain will start to fall over the eastern states from tomorrow.

“The map below shows what’s in store for Australia this week. Rain, and lots of it, over a number of states and territories,” Weatherzone said.

“This week’s rain will be widespread and involve intense thunderstorm activity on numerous days.

“Thunderstorms will be particularly dangerous over Qld and NSW between Wednesday and Friday when daily severe storm activity is likely in both states.”

Senior meteorologist at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Dean Narramore cast a cloud over the forecast, warning another system could start to develop from Sunday.

“Over the next week unfortunately we could see widespread 50-100mm falls through southern inland Queensland, all of inland NSW, northern Victoria and inland South Australia ,” Narramore said.

“It’s not good news for our many flood-affected areas.”

For Victoria the “impact days” will be Thursday through to Saturday, Narramore said.

The warning comes as the state’s flood crisis continues.

There are currently 60 warnings in place across the state, 34,000 homes are at risk, and a suite of evacuation orders have been issued.

Emergency Management Victoria Commissioner Andrew Crisp said authorities are working closely with the BoM to protect communities.

“We will continue to do all we can,” he said.

“We are dealing with a lot at the moment.

“We are starting to look at cleanup in the Maribyrnong and Seymour, we are still dealing with response, and we certainly have an eye on the weather.

“In Victoria we will see another weather system move into the state from tomorrow…we will plan to whatever they (BoM) are forecasting.”
