After almost 120mm of rain in the past five days, Newcastle residents can finally expect some clearer weather.
Bureau of Meteorology records show 119.8mm has fallen in the city since Saturday, with Monday the wettest of those days, registering 50.4mm.
The Bureau is predicting just a slight chance of rain between Thursday and Sunday, with tops of 20-21 degrees forecast.
However, the BOM says the La Nina conditions that brought unprecedented rain and flooding to vast swathes of the coast in summer and autumn will continue throughout winter, bringing above-average rainfall for much of eastern Australia.
Newcastle Herald photographer Peter Lorimer was on deck early on Wednesday morning to capture the sun emerging through the fog.
