On Saturday, a rain system is expected to cover nearly the entire state, with the rainfall set to be heaviest around the NSW south coast and central west.

This weekend, the Sydney region could receive up to 150 mm of rain.

"Another round of widespread rain will drench Australia's southeast mainland over the next three days, dumping more water into already saturated catchments," Meteorologists at Weatherzone said.

It is likely to cause flooding in some already saturated catchment areas.

The wild weather also has the potential to bring severe thunderstorms and flooding.

A severe weather warning is in place for parts of the Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Tablelands and Snowy Mountains Forecast Districts.
