Heavy rain, winds and possible thunderstorms are forecast for Saturday.

While the trough caused power outages, flooding and damage in Victoria, the capital is set to see 10 to 15mm of rainfall.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Morgan Pumpa said the trough, currently over Victoria, was expected to move east over the ACT in the coming days.

"[Saturday] will be the day people should watch for in Canberra. While on Sunday, there is the chance of a possibly severe thunderstorm towards the southern part of the state and bordering areas," she said.

"Saturday is the day that people should really keep an eye on weather warnings."
