New South Wales (NSW) is bracing for a weekend of wild and wet weather, with possible flooding, after some areas had more than 100 millimetres of rain over the past week.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the Illawarra, Hunter, Central Coast, and Greater Sydney regions can expect to get a similar triple-digit dumping over May 4 night and May 5.
