Nearly 70 flood warnings are in place across NSW as the focus turns to the far south Riverina region, with more rain expected to lash large areas of the state this week.
A low pressure system bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms is forecast to hit NSW from Wednesday to Friday, before weakening and being followed by more drenching rain on the weekend.
The downpours could cause renewed flooding along rivers in parts of the north west, central west and southwest inland catchments, which are already flooding from months of persistent rain.
