Large parts of Australia's centre and north-east will cop a battering from heavy rain this weekend, as every jurisdiction in the country is told to brace for extreme winds.
The nation's north half, spanning from Western Australia, across to the Northern Territory and into Queensland and South Australia, are all set to feel the force of an incoming "large cloudband", expected to deliver "widespread and unseasonably heavy rain".
Some areas, according to Weatherzone, had already collected several months' rain in one or two days earlier this week, resulting in flooding and roads being off.
While the nation enjoyed some respite from the rain yesterday, those conditions are to be short lived, with more intense conditions expected today and into the weekend.
"Another pulse of heavier rainfall will develop over WA's Kimberley and the NT Interior on Friday and Saturday, before spreading further east across Queensland from Sunday into early next week," Weatherzone said.
"Some forecast models also suggest New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and even Tasmania could pick up some rain from this system next week.
"As of 4pm AEST on Thursday, flood watches had already been issued in WA and the NT.
"More flood watches and possibly flood warnings will be issued in the next few days as this second pulse of rain spreads across northern and central Australia."
The expected dumping comes as Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issues warnings to every Aussie state and territory today over extreme marine winds.
Flood warnings also remain in place across a number of areas in WA, the NT and in Victoria.
