Thousands remain trapped by floods in northern NSW

Over a thousand people remain trapped by floodwaters after another day of heavy rain in northern NSW, as Sydney braces for a week of rain and its wettest March on record.

Severe thunderstorms are expected to bring torrential downpours which could bring flash flooding in Walgett, Lightning Ridge, Collarenebri and Brewarrina overnight.

The wet conditions should see large hailstones batter the towns, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning that conditions could worsen into early Monday morning.
