Heavy rain and wild winds target NSW on Friday

A New South Wales severe weather warning has been upgraded on Friday morning. Sky News Meteorologist Rob Sharpe has discussed what people in New South Wales can expect on Friday amid heavy rainfall and damaging winds. “The worst of the weather for Sydney and surrounding areas tonight I would expect before the heavy rain and wild winds run down the coast for tomorrow,” Mr Sharpe said. Areas through southeast NSW, the Blue Mountains and the Illawarra could see heavy rainfall with totals up to 200 millimetres. “For the Illawarra Escarpment there’s potential for up to 300 millimetres,” he said.
