NSW Flood Watch: Macquarie, Bogan, Lachlan, Queanbeyan - Molonglo and Murrumbidgee Valleys

NSW Flood Watch: Macquarie, Bogan, Lachlan, Queanbeyan - Molonglo and Murrumbidgee Valleys
Source: Bureau of Meteorology


Issued at 12:08 PM on Thursday the 2nd of September 2010

Note: This Flood Watch is a "heads up" for possible future flooding and is NOT a
Flood Warning [see note below].

A low pressure system is expected to move to the southeast New South Wales
during Saturday. This system is likely to bring moderate to heavy rainfall over
the southern and central parts of the state. Forecast rain totals can be seen on
the Bureau's Internet site under Water and the Land.

The area is generally wet from recent rain and the following areas have a higher
than 70% chance of local flooding and minor to moderate main river flooding
this Saturday:

1. Macquarie Valley - including Bathurst, Orange, Molong and the Bell River
2. Bogan Valley
3. Lachlan Valley - including the Belubula River and Mandagery Creek
4. Queanbeyan and Molonglo Rivers
5. Murrumbidgee Valley - most likely local flooding with a chance of main river
flooding

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. Flood Warnings will be issued if Minor
Flood Level is expected to be exceeded at key sites along the main rivers for
which the Bureau of Meteorology provides a flood warning service. Across NSW,
about 70% of Flood Watches are followed by flooding.

Flood warnings, river and rainfall data is available here.
