Tamworth has waded through a wet March already, and the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is warning rain and thunderstorms could come back each day until next week.

There's a very high - 90 per cent - chance of rain on Friday and Sunday, but a slightly more sunny Saturday is expected with only a 50 per cent chance of rain.

There's also the chance of a thunderstorm each of those days.

Wednesday night brought patchy rain to the region, dumping a deluge of the wet stuff on parts of town like South and West Tamworth, while only a drop or two was recorded in areas like Westdale and North Tamworth.

The official airport weather station notched 3.8mm during the nighttime rain shower, and the BoM gauge at Duri clocked 4mm.

Residents took to social media to discuss their totals, with more than 70mm reported in South Tamworth, 67mm apparently recorded in West Tamworth, 39mm in Calala and 15mm at the Longyard.

North Tamworth wasn't under the rain burst, with locals recording less than 1mm.

Thunder boomed through the city and lightning split dark skies on Wednesday night, and a thunderstorm - potentially severe - is expected to hit later on Thursday night as well.

Tamworth's official rain total for the month of March so far is 26mm.

Skies are expected to clear up by Monday.
