The State Emergency Service is urging Tasmanians to use the opportunity to prepare their properties ahead of Thursday's conditions.

Northern regional manager Mhairi Revie said the windy and wet conditions will have the potential to cause significant damage.

"The northeasterly winds and low pressure system building up near King Island will bring with it very heavy rainfalls for all of the Northern area including the west and northwest area of Tasmania," she said.

"Some very strong winds as well as heavy rainfalls. We ask that all Tasmanians pay attention to the weather alerts put out by the Bureau of Meteorology, and that they use vigilance, particularly when driving.

"Trees aren't used to northeasterly winds, so during this time we'll expect more trees to be down, more limbs to be down. That will mean there'll be extra debris on the road.

"Make sure you're tying down outdoor objects, trampolines, outdoor chairs, all of those sorts of things.

"People who are at home at the moment should clean out their gutters and prepare because with how wet the ground is currently there is the risk of flash flooding," Ms Revie said.

PREVIOUSLY:

There is a risk of flash flooding and riverine rises across the North and East Coast with between 30 and 60 mm of rainfall expected on Thursday.

Damaging winds are also expected across much of the North and East of the state tomorrow with gusts reaching up to 100km/h.

Flood warnings are current for multiple catchments following a wet weekend, and a severe weather warning for heavy rain and damaging winds is likely to be issued.

People travelling through the state have been urged to pay attention to warnings and drive according to the conditions especially if they are in unfamiliar areas.
