GAV’S WEATHER: HEAVY COASTAL RAIN CLEARING
Solid accumulations in the east, especially in between Byron and Coffs. Minnie Water, on the North Coast, received the top drop, with over 100mm. The coast copped more rain overnight.

The latest high over the South East will still generate strong south easterly winds for the coast, with showers heavy at times. Shower activity is set to increase…
