The Upper Hunter is expecting to see rain over the weekend with the Bureau of Meteorology monitoring a weather system on its way.
Meteorologist Ashleigh Lange said the rain looks promising across Northern NSW.
"We've got a bit of rain developing this afternoon with some possible storms in the Northern districts, tomorrow a low-pressure system moving into the West of the State with some good rain," she said.
"The upper Hunter can expect to see anywhere between 5 to 15 millimetres on Saturday and the same on Sunday."
Nationally, it was the driest July since 2002, with affected areas of North-Western NSW, receiving less than 30% of average rainfall across the last 4 months.
Drought-stricken locals can expect some minor relief over the weekend but not enough to break the dry conditions.
"It will certainly help but you need a few couple rain-bearing systems to get rid of the dryness, looking at the maps it looks like September has a 50% of exceeding its monthly rainfall," she said.
