Sydney is waking to carnage from the Northern Beaches to the south-west but rain is set to subside for a long overdue sunny day - before rolling back in on the weekend.
More than 310 schools have been forced to close after wild weather wreaked havoc across Sydney and surrounding NSW regions - flooding entire suburbs and forcing major roads to close.
Most schools across the Penrith Local Government Area will be closed tomorrow as the rain that has soaked the region for the past week delivers its finale - with some 150mm expected.
