A severe weather system is predicted to bring up to 200mm of rain as well as thunderstorms and flash flooding in northern New South Wales.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected to batter parts of the northern NSW coastline with some regions being warned to expect up to 200mm of rain and flash flooding over the long weekend.

A severe weather warning updated by the Bureau of Meteorology on Saturday morning warned communities on the state’s mid north coast and northern rivers to brace for flooding.

The weather bureau says Lismore, Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Sawtell and Dorrigo may be affected.

Evans Head and Yamba have already copped more than 130mm or rain since Friday morning.
