Weatherzone's Rob Sharpe said there was good news in the forecast for the next week or two. A series of cold fronts are likely to move across southern Australia, producing a westerly flow for NSW that will sometimes poke into Queensland.

This means blue skies will become the norm as people work hard to clean up in the hardest hit communities on the badly beaten east coast.

Monday's forecast is for possible showers with the cloud clearing by Tuesday for sunny days to Saturday.
