The rainy weather that soaked Australia's east coast during summer and autumn is set to return this weekend with heavy rain, damaging winds and floods forecast.
Families are being asked to re-asses their holiday plans ahead of the wet and windy conditions just as school holidays begin for Victoria, Queensland and NSW.
Weatherzone said on Wednesday afternoon that a widespread cloudband will cover the east coast as it moves down from the tropics bringing rain and whipping up swells along the coast.
A low pressure trough deepening on Saturday will bring increased rainfalls with several computer weather models suggesting some coastal areas could see more than 100mm of rain in under 24 hours.

The rain will stretch from Melbourne in the south of the country to as far north as Cape York and spreading west to Darwin - with the heaviest falls around Sydney and the tropical north Queensland coast.
The deluge will ease in Victoria on Sunday but continue in eastern Queensland and NSW with a second day of 100mm falls in some areas likely to cause flash flooding.
Monday will be similar conditions, with some models forecasting the downpour will continue into Tuesday and Wednesday.
