Mr Levesque said conditions were easing across the fire grounds, with showers and thunderstorms expected across parts of the state on Friday.
Sydney is likely to see showers throughout the morning, with the temperature to hit 28 degrees. The northeast of the state, including the Northern Tablelands, the Hunter and Mid-North Coast, are likely to see severe thunderstorms throughout the day.Flags across the state will fly at half-mast on Friday in commemoration of the three American air crew members who died when their waterbomber crashed on a private property in southern NSW on Thursday.
Police said three men aged 42, 43 and 45 are thought to have been on the aircraft, but they are yet to be formally identified."Police are liaising with US authorities to ensure all next of kin have been notified of the men’s deaths." "But we can't afford to be complacent because we still have to get through February and the balance of this fire season," Commissioner Fitzsimmons warned.
Hey, remember how you supported Tony Abbott so he could repeal the carbon tax? Clever move, hey? Or not!
Hey that’s my car!
See, Sydney, that's what Mother Nature does when you allow petty, puerile polticians to abuse her. And you are unlucky to be the home of some of the chief offenders.
hornsby No hail here but its raining heavily after rumbles of thunder f o r about 20 minutes

At the moment, after that smoke haze yesterday, from those bush fires from the South Coast of New South Wales, the weather forecast is indeed a different story this morning in Sydney. Nothing but rain and thunder and lightning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Embrace the joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Strange thing is that the dust was still falling - but only the camera picked it up as it was too fine to see

And the smell in the air was strange this morning.
Bloody Scott Morrison!
