NSW weather live: Warnings of ‘damaging winds' on Thursday, thousands of homes still without power
Conditions are expected to ease on Thursday but severe weather warnings are in place of wind gusts of up to 100 km/h for parts of the Northern Tablelands, the Mid North Coast hinterland and about the Border Ranges.
'A series of low pressure systems remain in the Tasman Sea,' the Bureau of Meteorology said in a Thursday morning update.
'A secondary low that was moving northwards just offshore from the NSW coast has begun to weaken. Strong to gale force south to southwesterly winds around these lows are generating large and powerful south to southeasterly waves today.'
The NSW State Emergency Service had responded to more than 3800 incidents across the state since the destructive east coast low closed in earlier this week, including 1442 incidents and two flood rescues in the last 24 hours.
The majority of incidents have involved fallen trees and powerlines, damaged properties and vehicles, as well as flood related tasks.
Damaging surf conditions which may lead to coastal erosion and localised damage to coastal infrastructure are likely for coastlines between Seal Rocks and the New South Wales-Victorian border on Thursday.
'Damaging winds are forecast to ease significantly today as the low moves east into the Tasman Sea,' the NSW SES said.
As of Wednesday evening there were around 28,500 homes without power.

Rate relief, food payments and water funding in new $75m Victorian drought package
The Victorian government has announced a $75 million drought assistance package for farmers struggling through the state's long dry spell. It is the biggest and most significant announcement the government has made during this drought and includes council rate relief for farmers, with a rebate of about 40 per cent for producers in 12 of the worst-affected areas of the south-west. The funding also includes $2 million for food and grocery support, with up to $1,000 per household, $6.3 million to cover government "red tape" fees and $25 million for water management. "We've been listening to farmers and communities who do it tough," Premier Jacinta Allan said. "This support delivers real help, right now." The state's peak farm lobby group, the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) welcomed the support but said it should have come earlier. "A lot of farmers will tell you [the drought support package] has come too late," VFF president Brett Hosking said. The government has now announced a total of $144 million for farmers during the extended dry conditions. The state's south-west has been worst affected with 15 months of record low or below-average rainfall until last month. Almost $36 million will go towards rate relief for farmers in the council areas of Ararat, Moyne, Colac Otway, Pyrenees, Corangamite, Southern Grampians, Glenelg, Surf Coast, Golden Plains, Warrnambool, City of Geelong and southern parts of West Wimmera. The government says that equates to a 40 per cent rate reduction. "This isn't about dollars, it's about backing the people who feed our state and the regional communities that keep our state strong." Ms Allan said. The government has also committed $24 million to water infrastructure to better prepare for droughts. It will be used to extend the East Grampians rural water pipeline and to expand emergency water supply options, groundwater bores and domestic water access. "We are investing in both short-term solutions and legacy infrastructure to improve resilience and water security for farmers and their communities," Agriculture Minister Ros Spence said. Despite recent rain, the state is still feeling the effects of drought, with a cold winter resulting in very little growth in pastures for hungry livestock. Ararat lamb producer Charlie de Fegely said the funding was surprising and welcome news. "This is fantastic, because people are desperate for water, given the very long dry spell," he said. Mr de Fegely said a secure water supply would enable farmers to retain livestock during drought. "Tragically, breeding ewes are being sold simply because people don't have water," he said. Mr Hosking said it would take time for farmers to recover. "There is no feed in the paddock, particularly for cattle and even for sheep there is not the feed to support them in the paddock, and farmers are still hand feeding," he said. The Country Women's Association (CWA) will manage the household payments of up to $1,000 for farmers in the south-west. Catchment Management Authorities will receive $1 million to run drought employment programs, which help people receive payments while working on projects that help the environment. There is also $6.3 million for fee and duty relief, which Brett Hosking said would help, although he had questions about the details. "It's removal of red tape funding on things like biosecurity levees that you pay on the sale of livestock will hopefully be waived and I think the government is still working out the details on that one," he said.

Record-breaking rain and winds hit Australia's east coast
More than half a century of rainfall records have been shattered by the extreme weather that has swept through parts of the east coast and brought winds rivalling Tropical Cyclone Alfred. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) warned on Monday the weather event would "drench and batter" the east coast over the coming week. Some forecasters — not the BOM — feared that the lower pressure system could develop into an "east coast low" — one of the most dangerous weather systems the region could experience. It would have been the first east coast low in three years. But the bureau described this weather system as a "vigorous coastal low pressure system" that brought heavy rainfall and strong winds. University of Melbourne climatologist Linden Ashcroft said these types of weather systems were characteristic of the climate in eastern Australia but they could have devastating impacts. "It's always very devastating when they hit, particularly in areas that just don't seem to be getting a break over the last year or so." BOM senior meteorologist Dean Narramore said a low-pressure system developed off the Queensland coast this week and brought widespread heavy rainfall, damaging winds and coastal flooding to parts of New South Wales and eastern Victoria. The Illawarra and South Coast regions of NSW recorded the highest rainfall totals, with some areas receiving more than 300mm between Monday and Wednesday. Some of the areas with the highest rainfall totals in that time included Currarong, with 346 millimetres, Jervis Bay, with 331mm, and Ulladulla, with 308mm. But this weather event has not only been about rainfall; there have been significant winds across Queensland and NSW. A new wind gust record was set at Brisbane Airport. The BOM said wind gusts of up to 81 kilometres per hour were recorded on Wednesday night — the strongest for that site for the month of July since records began 26 years ago. The BOM said the gusts were equal to the highest gusts recorded at the airport during Tropical Cyclone Alfred in March. On Thursday, at least nine flights between Brisbane and Sydney were cancelled due to wind conditions in NSW. The most severe winds so far in NSW occurred at Montague Island. Most of the rainfall records were broken in the 24 hours to 9am on July 2. Ulladulla (224 mm) had its heaviest July downpour on record, Nowra (157mm) experienced its heaviest rain in July for 25 years, Moruya Airport (147mm) had its heaviest July rain in 78 years, and Narooma (140mm) set a July record. "So, pretty much from Wollongong down to Bega and inland towards the ranges. That's where we're pretty much seeing widespread 150-300mm in the three days," Mr Narramore said. "Eastern parts of Victoria saw widespread 50-150mm in the three days down there. While elsewhere mostly saw 50-100mm over the last few days." The rainfall experienced in some parts of the south-east coast saw rainfalls in the top 97th and 99th percentiles. Dr Ashcroft explained Australia's weather systems were partially impacted by what happened in the oceans around it. "The Bureau of Meteorology's outlook for this winter was saying higher-than-average rainfall in the eastern part of Australia. "We've got warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures off the east coast, which means there's probably more moisture availability in the atmosphere, and then these kinds of weather systems do happen." For Dr Ashcroft, while these sorts of weather systems are very devastating, they are also important sources of rainfall. It is increasingly relevant because studies have shown winter systems such as those experienced on the east coast will likely decrease in frequency, particularly under high greenhouse-gas-emission scenarios. "Which is kind of good, in terms of impact, but it could be bad in terms of water availability. So this intense rain has a lot of impact, but it also can be an important source of water for the catchments that are being affected," she said. "I'm not trying to downplay any of the terrible impacts that are being experienced, particularly in communities that are already tired and still cleaning up from Alfred, but it's an important source of water."

Record-breaking rainfall and winds hit Australia's east coast
More than half a century of rainfall records have been shattered by the extreme weather that has swept through parts of the east coast and brought winds rivalling ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
