The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of widespread flooding, with two dozen catchments in danger of minor to major flooding across the state from Wednesday afternoon into the weekend.
Senior meteorologist Jane Golding said some areas could receive a month's worth of rain before the end of the week.
"We're seeing rainfall records broken that we haven't seen in 10 years ... over the course of three days many locations will exceed what they'd usually see in November," Ms Golding said.
"The other feature is that it's being followed by some really cold air, some really gusty winds and some really unseasonable snow to some low levels in the south.
