A tropical low over north-east Australia could bring heavy rain to the region while grey skies and showers continue to hang over most major cities.
Tropical Low 15U has a chance of developing into a cyclone in the eastern Arafura Sea from late Friday into Saturday.
'If 15U develops, it should be located in the eastern Arafura Sea or northern Gulf of Carpentaria on Friday and Saturday,' the Bureau of Meteorology said.
'From Sunday 15U is likely to start weakening, and it is expected to dissipate by later on Monday.'
Due to steady rainfall across Australia's east coast, several regions in Queensland and New South Wales remain under flood warnings.
In Queensland, moderate flood warnings were issued for the Barcoo River, Georgina River, Warrego River, Weir River and Eyre Creek.
Meanwhile, minor flood warnings are in place for the Bokhara River, Balonne River Minor, Moonie River and Cooper Creek.
A minor to moderate flood warning was issued for the Warrego River and Barwon River in NSW on top of a moderate flood warning for the Weir River.
Sydney's forecast for Thursday is partly cloudy with a top of 24C.

Friday is looking similarly wet with a high chance of showers along the coast and medium chance elsewhere.
