It should move southwards to be located east of Port Macquarie by evening. Rainfall is expected to increase today in the Mid North Coast district. Rain should contract south during the day. A Flood Warning is current for the Bellinger Valley. At this stage, apart from the possibility of local flash flooding, main river flooding is not expected in other major rivers This Flood Watch means that people living or working along rivers and streams must monitor the latest weather forecasts and warnings and be ready to move to higher ground should flooding develop.
