Warning details
MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF THE NORTH AND NORTH EAST FROM SATURDAY, WITH CHANCE OF ISOLATED MODERATE FLOODING
A cold front will approach Victoria on late Friday and cross the state during Saturday. This is forecast to bring moderate rainfall to parts of the north and north east of the state, with the highest rainfall totals forecast about the eastern ranges and alpine areas.
Catchments are wet to very wet in these areas, with river levels remaining elevated in parts, and are likely to respond quickly to further rainfall. Minor flooding may develop across the Flood Watch area from Saturday afternoon onwards, with the chance of isolated moderate flooding in areas of higher rainfall.
