A cold front moving across NSW dumps snow around Goulburn and the Blue Mountains, while erratic winds and lightning may hamper firefighting efforts in the north of the state.

In Sydney, 20 millimetres of rain is expected, and the Hunter Region can expect 50 millimetres, with rain expected to stick around for at least the next 24 hours.

But frustratingly, the Bureau of Meteorology said storms forecast for northern NSW would increase the fire risk for crews who continued to battle blazes near Tenterfield, Armidale and Glen Innes. "Obviously if we've got storms they can bring erratic wind conditions, so you may see lightning strikes result in more fires, and that could be a difficulty for firefighters who are already stretched thin in the north," forecaster Jordan Notara said.
