Transcripts
Widespread rain and thunderstorms to bring flood impacts to large parts of Queensland
over the coming days. And firstly, Ex-tropical Cyclone Kirrily has continued to bring heavy
rainfall through parts of western Queensland, particularly south of Cloncurry where we've seen
heavy rainfall and a severe weather warning is current for that. Now overnight and during today
we've seen widespread heavy rainfall in that area and that's led to some pretty large totals,
we can see here, in excess of 200 mm and that's led to road closures and flood impacts there.
And note the radar continuing to show large areas of heavy rain in that warned area south of
Cloncurry. But it's not only western Queensland, also large parts of southeastern Queensland and
far northern parts of New South Wales are seeing widespread rain and thunderstorm activity and
some of these could bring localised heavy falls that could lead to flash and riverine flooding.
And with all this rain going on, we do have flood warnings current for large
parts of central Queensland with moderate flooding, I should say, also through some
areas. But it's not only here. Note here in far south east Queensland, we also do have
a few minor to moderate flood warnings current and that's could increase in the coming days.
And because of that we do see flood watches current for parts of western Queensland, much
of central and south eastern Queensland and into far north eastern parts of New South Wales. Now
what this means, if you live in these highlighted areas in Queensland or northern New South Wales,
the forecast rainfall could lead to flash and riverine flooding in the next 48 hours.
In the worst cases could lead to inundation of homes, properties, businesses and agricultural
land. So if you do live in these areas, it is important to be weather aware with these
rain and storms in the coming days. So looking at that in more detail, we can see widespread
rain and thunderstorm activity through much of south eastern Queensland and northern New
South Wales today and into tomorrow, while rain also continuing through western parts.
But then as we move through Tuesday, we might start to see a slow contraction northwards as
we move through Tuesday night into Wednesday. And that's due to a low
pressure system developing on the trough line. Where this low develops exactly,
will determine exactly where those heaviest falls do occur. So looking at that in a
little bit more detail, here's one scenario of the heaviest falls over the next three days.
Well, we're pretty confident we're going to see widespread heavy rainfall through
western parts of Queensland. We are likely to see also widespread areas
of moderate to heavy rainfall through much of the central southern interior, I should say,
and also south east parts of Queensland. We could even get isolated falls in excess of
200 or 300 mm. So it is important if you live here or through much of the Queensland, stay up to date
with latest forecasts and warnings via our website, app and social media. Listen
to all advice from emergency services and we'll continue to keep you updated here at the Bureau.
