FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS GREENOUGH, MURCHISON AND WOORAMEL CATCHMENTS FROM LATE
THURSDAY

A rain band will affect much of southern and central Western Australia during
Thursday and Friday, as a humid airmass interacts with a broad upper-level
trough. This is forecast to generate widespread moderate to locally heavy
rainfall over the flood watch area.

In the 24 hours to 9:00 am Thursday, light to moderate rainfall totals were
recorded over the flood watch area, where catchment conditions are near average
to wetter than average.

Widespread moderate to locally heavy rainfall may cause flooding in the
Greenough, Murchison and Wooramel catchments from late Thursday. Secondary
roads are likely to be disrupted and some communities and localities may become
isolated by road.

Catchments likely to be affected include:

Greenough River

Murchison River

Wooramel River
