There’s good news for farmers, where parts of central Australia could see a season’s worth of rain, especially in the NSW far west town of Broken Hill where it remains very dry. Models suggest that widespread accumulated totals of 20 to 40 mm are likely, with isolated falls over 50 mm. Some of this rain will be falling in outback areas that average about 30 to 50 mm during all of spring.

There is also a good chance of snow falling in the Snowy Mountains down to 1300 metres next Tuesday and Wednesday, but it is expected to be fairly slushy due to the preceding rain.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) says the trough will linger in NSW and the ACT during the weekend, bringing showers to most areas. Between 15 and 25 mm of rain is forecast for Canberra on Sunday and Monday.
