 A low will pass to the east of Tasmania on Wednesday bringing falls of 15 to 50 mm to the eastern half of the state. There is some uncertainty as to how close the low will come and exactly how much rain will fall.

 Depending on the proximity of the low, isolated falls may reach up to 100 mm on the east coast and in elevated areas.

 A Severe Weather Warning for heavy rain and a Flood Watch have been issued for eastern parts of the state.

 Warnings are updated as required. Please refer to the latest available at www.bom.gov.au/tas/warnings/

 Conditions will ease on Thursday as the low moves away to the southeast and a cold front approaches the west later in the day.
