NSW SES members continue to assist the Forbes community as the Lachlan River is expected to remain above major flood level this weekend.
The Lachlan River at Forbes remains steady near 10.7 metres.
Major flooding continues downstream at Condobolin and Euabalong where further river rises are possible on Monday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast showers, isolated severe thunderstorms, and a windy cool change for the weekend.
With this latest forecast, a flood watch has been issued and includes the Belubula River at Canowindra.
Assistant Commissioner Kearns said although rainfall is expected to be less severe than last weekend, storms are unpredictable in their timing and location.
"Given the saturated catchments, intense rain may quickly inundate areas and cause flash flooding," Assistant Commissioner Kearns said.
"Community members and businesses need to plan for what they will do and where they will go if they are asked to evacuate or if they become isolated when roads close."
Forecast windy conditions can bring down trees, branches, power lines, remove roofs and blow around outdoor items.
"People should prepare their properties, by securing outdoor furniture and trampolines, trim branches and ensure your roof is in good condition," Assistant Commissioner Kearns said.
Alongside partner agencies, NSW SES has completed damage assessments at Eugowra, where residents faced a devastating flash flood earlier this week.
NSW SES members continue to resupply isolated communities with emergency supplies. Prolonged flooding is likely to continue for the remainder of the year.
Please check Live Traffic and your local council website before heading out on the roads.
