Wet And Wild Weekend On The Way

BY IAN CROUCH

The Hunter is in for a drenching this weekend.

An East Coast Low is expected to bring heavy rainfall, with some areas to receive up to 300 millimetres.

The worst of the wild weather is expected on Sunday, with strong winds also forecast, but the weather bureau says it shouldn't be as bad as the April Super Storm last year, with the system expected to move through the region rather than stalling and unleashing all of it's energy on the Hunter.

The State Emergency Service says residents should prepare their homes and keep an eye out for any warnings issued.
