An initial flood watch warning is also in place for the Hawkesbury-Nepean, Georges, Cooks, Sydney Coast, and Illawarra Coast catchments.

The developing system has been dubbed a potential "bomb cyclone" - a rapidly-forming system that goes from non-existence to threatening in just days.

It could also be the first east coast low to hit Sydney since 2022.
