The incoming rain is likely to arrive in the North on Thursday and last through Friday. The two-day shower is expected to drop around 20-40 milliliters across the state.

Thunderstorms are also a possibility across Central and North Tasmania on Thursday and could extend over the North-East during the early part of Friday morning.

Simon Louis, Tasmania Hazard Preparedness and Response Manager, told residents in the north and east in particular to watch out.

"With the North-West, the Tamar Valley and the East Coast the most likely areas to see the strongest winds and given the soils are very saturated, the unusual wind direction could lead to a higher-than-usual likelihood of trees falling over, particularly in exposed locations," he said.

Along with the wet weather and high winds, an influx of cold air is expected to bring the snow line down to around 600 metres.

That said, the wet weather will likely ease by Friday night, with dry and sunny conditions expected to continue through the weekend and into the middle of next week.

This latest bout of rain will add to an already wet month for in the state's east, which recently passed its average rainfall for October.

Due to the saturated soil the Bureau is expecting a very rapid response to rainfall in the rivers. With that in mind, the public can stay up to date with the latest weather and warnings at www.bom.gov.au
