Sydney residents can expect to be drenched by up to 100mm of rain by the week’s end, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It follows a 96mm downpour over the last 24 hours across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stretch of rain is the result of a “blocking high” pressure system which disrupts the normal flow of weather and causes it to remain stationary for an extended period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flash flooding is possible due to the persistent rainfall forecast for Bateau Bay, Corlette, Gorokan, Kanwal, Salamander Bay, and Tuggerawong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
