TORRENTIAL rain that has wreaked havoc on the NSW Hunter and Central Coast regions is expected to move south and lash Sydney later today.
Two people have died and there are grave fears for a family of five missing after a Central Coast road collapsed, sending their car crashing down an embankment and into a flooded creek.
The wild weather has forced Premier Morris Iemma to declare a natural disaster in the Hunter and Central Coast regions amid flooding, evacuations, strandings, blackouts, landslides, commuter and traffic chaos and thousands of calls to emergency services.
The Bureau of Meteorology warned the public not to be lulled into a false sense of security by an apparent easing of conditions this morning as winds were expected to crank up to gale force later.
"The low pressure system is slowly moving south so the good news is it's stopped absolutely pelting down in Newcastle and the Central Coast but now Sydney's getting the brunt of it, and it's also becoming heavier in the Illawarra,'' said bureau forecaster Julie Evans.
"The winds have dropped a little bit in some areas now but we are expecting another surge of winds up the coast this afternoon.'' Ms Evans predicted rain falls of up to 100mm in Sydney today and slightly more in the Illawarra.

Sydney residents have been warned to prepare for heavy rain, flash floods and hazardous surf expected from late this afternoon.
Julie Evans from the Weather Bureau, expects the high winds and heavy rain to peak this evening and early tomorrow morning. "People should take care of power lines coming down or that sort of thing," she said. She is urging residents to clear their properties of loose objects, then stay indoors and avoid non-essential travel.
The bad weather has triggered a spate of accidents, creating problems on the roads. Trees have fallen on power lines, blacking out about 3,000 Sydney homes.
Beaches closed - All Sydney beaches have been closed because of the winds. Steven Leahy from Surf Lifesaving Sydney says he expects the conditions to worsen over the long weekend. "We could get waves of up to fifteen to eighteen feet by Monday morning," he said.
Transport affected - Sydney Ferries has replaced all Manly services with buses because of high winds. The Parramatta service is terminating at Rydalmere, and the Cronulla to Bundeena ferry has been suspended.
