The rainy weather is predicted to continue before clearing overnight.

In the 24 hours to 9am Thursday, 82mm of rain had fallen, with another 13.8mm falling between 9am and 3pm Thursday.

Just 52mm of rain fell in Albury during March 2019, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

In Mt Buffalo 170mm fell in the 24 hours to 9am Thursday.

Wednesday's heavy rainfall exceeded the mean March rain total of 45.3mm for the month, but fell well short of the daily rainfall record of 103.6mm set on March 1, 2012.

Unit commander Ian Leckie said NSW Albury received about 15 calls for assistance overnight Wednesday into Thursday, mostly for leaking roofs.

"Hopefully with the rain easing now those problems start to disappear," he said.

"Creeks and gutters are all full so if parents can ensure children don't play in [creeks] that'd be appreciated and everyone needs to take care on the road.

"As far as storm damage it's been fairly minimal."

Mr Leckie said flood watch warnings were in place for a number of rivers and creeks in the Upper Murray.

The Bureau of Meteorology's Dean Stewart said quite substantial rain had fallen overnight in Victoria's north east.

"That rainfall is falling over ground that was quite dry," he said.

"So its really pleasing to see some of these falls over the north east of the state."

State Control controller Alistair Drayton said given the dry, burnt out state of much of the North East, there was a real risk of landslides or debris flowing into rivers.

"That's a real risk to people, people need to be quite cognisant if they're living around those rivers and streams part in those fire affected areas," he said.
