Thunderstorms accompanied by intense rainfall and an elevated risk of flash floods are anticipated to sweep through Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory. The areas most at risk include East Gippsland, the southeastern regions of New South Wales, and the northern slopes and ranges of the state.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has noted that the current dry state of catchments may lead to minor flooding in these areas.

Remnants of the weather system, named Koji, are predicted to cause further heavy rainfall and flash flooding from the Gulf Country to the Central Coast on Thursday. The pattern of thunderstorm downpours is expected to persist into Friday.
