Flood warnings easing across NSW with drier conditions forecast after wet weekend in Sydney
While minor flood warnings remain for the towns of Wee Waa, Bugilbone and Goangra in regional NSW, the Bureau of Meteorology has downgraded a flood watch warning for residents on the mid-north coast in anticipation of drier conditions.
Sky News Weather Meteorologist Marina Neuman said dry conditions were expected to set in mid-week.
They should offer respite for residents along the Naomi River, which flooded in several places following heavy rainfall on the weekend.
'We have seen significant rainfall over the last 10 days, and so far in August, Sydney has seen 194mm of rainfall, seeing a month's worth of rain over the last 10 days,' Neuman said.
She explained this was the result of a low-pressure system colliding with warmer than usual sea temperatures off the NSW coast.
'Things are changing over the rest of the week with a high-pressure system moving in over Thursday and a series of cold fronts moving across Victoria," Neuman added.
'We do have a few more showers on the way, but we will see a shift in that weather pattern.'
Elsewhere on Tuesday, most of the nation's capital cities can expect more of the same weather-wise, with many forecast to receive a mix of showers and sunny spells.
Adelaide is forecast to see showers, as well as light winds in the afternoon. Temperatures will be mild in the South Australian capital, with a low of 11 and high of 17 degrees forecast.
In the Sunshine State, Brisbane will start the day with overcast conditions with a low of 10 and a top of 22.
Canberrans are in for a freezing start on Tuesday, with the mercury forecast to drop as low as negative two.
Frosty conditions in nation's capital will then give way to a top of 16 and mostly sunny skies.
Darwin is set for a sunny day and a top of 31 degrees, although locals should be wary of spending too long outdoors as the UV index will be at maximum.
Cloudy conditions are expected in Melbourne, with a low of seven and a high of 15 degrees forecast alongside a chance of showers.
Hobart residents face similar conditions, with showers, a low of five and a top of 16 expected.
Sydney is set for more rain on Tuesday, with a 40 per cent chance of showers. Temperatures will also remain mild ahead of drier and sunnier conditions later in the week.
Finally, Perth is set to see a sunny day, with the mercury expected to reach 23 degrees.

Flood warnings easing across NSW with drier conditions forecast after wet weekend in Sydney
