RIVER LEVEL RISES AND AREAS OF MINOR FLOODING MAY DEVELOP FROM TUESDAY

A series of fronts and troughs are forecast to cross Tasmania during Tuesday and continuing through to Saturday, which is likely to bring widespread moderate rainfall across the North of Tasmania.

This rainfall is likely to result in creek and river level rises from late Tuesday across the Flood Watch area, with minor flooding possible. Localised flooding of rivulets, small creeks and low-lying areas may occur in locations that receive higher rainfall.

Most catchments in the Flood Watch area are wet from recent rainfall.
