Residents in northwestern New South Wales are bracing for more isolation as floodwaters move west across the state.

The State Emergency Service (SES) says more than 10,000 people are likely to be isolated as the flooding from Queensland moves downstream into NSW over the coming days and weeks.

SES Commissioner Murray Kear says the first river peaks could hit the town of Goodooga, near the Queensland border, as early as Wednesday.

There may be some reprieve for Wee-Waa's 2,300 residents, who are expected to emerge from isolation by Friday if there is no further rainfall.
