Showers are set to return to Australia\u2019s east coast following a brief patch of sunshine which disrupted days of rain.<\/p>\n
Skies were mostly clear across the eastern coastline on Wednesday after days of wet weather pummelled parts of the country and dampened major cities such as Sydney.<\/p>\n
However, the reprieve in soggy conditions is not set to last for many Australians.<\/p>\n
Examining the forecast ahead, Sky News Weather Senior Meteorologist Rob Sharpe said the wet weather was \u201ccoming back\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw nine days in a row of showers on the east coast then a day of sunshine up and down the entire length of the east coast on Wednesday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for Thursday, some showers are back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking more closely at where wet conditions could return, Sharpe explained showers would start by targeting the Nelson Bay area during Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the evening, they’re likely to filter in towards the coastline a bit further south,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added showers are most likely from Thursday evening for Sydney and Wollongong.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Thursday during the day doesn’t look too bad, only a chance of showers in those locations on the beaches,\u201d Sharpe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut looking further ahead and wet weather looks even more likely on some of those following days.\u201d<\/p>\n
