RESIDENTS along the NSW coast are being warned to prepare for 100km/h winds and flash flooding as ex-tropical cyclone Oswald continues its damaging sweep south from Queensland.
Around 1300 people were isolated by flooding on the Bellinger and Clarence Rivers in northern NSW on Sunday and were expected to remain cut off for two to three days.
SES spokeswoman Jessica Chan told AAP that emergency crews would focus their efforts to the south on Monday as Oswald moved south.
She said conditions were expected to ease in the north after lunchtime on Monday with the weather front heading south towards Sydney.
"We are expecting heavy rainfall and flash flooding."
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned that gusts of 100km/h are forecast for the mid North Coast, the Northern Tablelands, the Hunter and the Sydney metropolitan regions during Monday.
"Beach conditions in these areas will be dangerous and people should stay well away from the surf and surf exposed areas," the BoM said.Heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding is also forecast to extend to the Hunter overnight and to the metropolitan, Central Tablelands and Illawarra districts by Monday afternoon.
But BoM regional director Barry Hanstrum said the low-pressure system will move rapidly and should pass out to sea in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The NSW SES is urging holiday makers returning home to be careful to exercise patience, drive to the conditions and never enter floodwaters.
