Weather forecast heavy rain for New South Wales

The NSW SES is warning that much-needed rain and thunderstorms forecast to comb across the state could bring new risks.

Firefighters hope the rain will help douse the 88 fires still burning across NSW.

"Some rainfall has started falling across variety of firegrounds. we've everything crossed hoping for a few good falls across these areas over the approaching days," the NSW Rural Fire Service tweeted late on Wednesday.

Most of NSW is predicted to receive rain from Thursday, apart from the west and southwest, with the falls to continue into Monday.

Areas round the South Coast and Southern Tablelands are predicted to receive up to 30mm but the Bureau of Meteorology says the rain are going to be patchy and exact falls are difficult to predict.

The NSW SES says this might cause the danger of flash flooding, falling trees and landslips after fire exhausted trees and growth.

"While the rain is welcomed, heavy rainfall and storms in fire affected areas can cause dangerous conditions like a better risk of flash flooding, falling trees and landslips," NSW SES assistant commissioner Paul Bailey said.

"In areas impacted by fires where vegetation has been destroyed, water from heavy rainfall can flow into riverbeds and that we could see run-off in areas we wouldn't normally, leading to flash flooding.

The SES warned residents to organize their properties but trimming overhanging branches, cleaning gutters and pipes, securing loose items in their backyards and not parking under trees or powerlines
