- Damaging winds and heavy rainfall lashed New South Wales, raising risks as storms and saturated soil made branches unstable, the NSW State Emergency Service warned.

- Police say the pass will remain closed for several hours as NSW Police investigate and prepare a report for the coroner.
- Statewide, SES teams report about 750 volunteers have handled more than 880 requests amid almost 900 incidents and four rescues, with severe weather expected to persist until Sunday.
