Warning details
MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FLOOD WATCH AREA
Moderate to locally heavy rainfall has been observed across the Flood Watch area since Monday evening. This has resulted in creek and river level rises. Rainfall is forecast to continue for the remainder of Tuesday into Wednesday, which is likely to cause further rises and areas of minor flooding.
Catchments across the Flood Watch area are relatively wet and stream levels remain elevated as a result of recent rainfall. Flooding is still ongoing in some catchments. Stream levels are likely to respond quickly to rainfall.
