Temperatures to rise across NSW on weekend

AFTER bringing several large fires in NSW under control, firefighters face a tough weekend with temperatures across the state predicted to rise.

The fires in NSW have left one man dead and authorities warn that hundreds of homes have been lost.

More than 1500 firefighters were on the ground across the state on Friday as more than 90 fires scorched through 91,000 hectares and destroyed at least 80 homes.

The Rural Fire Service listed six fires as watch and act on Friday night, with no emergency warnings in place.

Crews worked to build and strengthen containment lines on Friday evening, ahead of the predicted warm and dry weather on the weekend.

On Friday the mercury sat in the low 20s in most of the state and while it's predicted to climb by a few degrees on Saturday, parts of the state will be in the low 30s on Sunday, a Bureau of Meteorology spokesman told AAP.

"On Saturday the fire danger is becoming slightly higher," the BoM spokesman said.

Fortunately the 102km/h winds that fanned flames on Thursday won't be back, with the strongest breeze expected to blow at 30km/h on the NSW south coast.

Conditions on Sunday are expected to worsen, becoming drier with temperatures in the low 30s but the winds aren't predicted to pick up.

Meteorologists believe no rain will fall over the weekend but showers could develop along the Victorian border on Monday.

From Wednesday light showers are predicted for the central and southern coasts.

Cloud is expected to form early next week, which would drop temperatures and increase the chance of rain, the BoM spokesman said.

"Cloud is good, always good," he said.

"It's favourable for firefighting."
