MINOR FLOODING AND ELEVATED RIVER LEVELS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS MULTIPLE CATCHMENTS FROM FRIDAY A cold front is passing through Tasmania during Friday. This is forecast to bring moderate to heavy rainfall for the remainder of Friday and into Saturday, particularly in the west, north and northeast. Highest rainfall totals will be mostly focused on the higher peaks on the west coast, Central Plateau and southwest lakes. Catchments across Tasmania are wet following recent rainfall, and catchments may react quickly to further rainfall. River level rises are likely, and minor flooding and elevated river levels are possible across the Flood Watch area from Friday morning. Minor Flood Warnings are current for several catchments across Tasmania. Localised flooding of rivulets, small creeks and low-lying areas may occur in locations that receive higher rainfall. Isolated heavy rainfall can result in rapid stream rises and strong flows particularly in the west and northeast of the state.
