Flood Watch Number: 1

MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE FROM FRIDAY, WITH A RISK OF ISOLATED MODERATE FLOODING

A trough will move east over southern and central Queensland from Thursday and linger for the remainder of the week, drawing deep tropical moisture more broadly across the state and enhancing shower and storm activity over multiple days. Moderate to heavy falls are likely across the Flood Watch area from later Thursday.

Catchments are relatively dry within the Flood Watch area which may initially slow the response to rainfall. However, river level rises and areas of localised flooding are likely across the Flood Watch area. Minor flooding is possible from Friday and into the weekend, with rapid river level rises and moderate flooding also a possibility in areas that receive the heaviest rainfall.

There is significant uncertainty in the location and timing of the heaviest falls, particularly from Saturday onwards. The situation will be monitored closely and Flood Warnings issued as required.

Catchments likely to be affected include:
Dawson and Don Rivers

Burnett River

Mary River

Upper Brisbane River

Lower Brisbane River
(Bremer River, and Warrill, Lockyer, Laidley, Ipswich and Brisbane creeks only)

Logan and Albert Rivers

Condamine Rivers

Balonne River
