FURTHER HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALISED FLOODING POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF THE FLOOD WATCH AREA OVER COMING DAYS A tropical low is centred over North Interior, moving south through the Interior during the next few days. Since Sunday 15th February, up to 300 mm of rain has been recorded at Broome and surrounding areas near the Roebuck plains. Although rain has since eased in the west Kimberley, very localised areas of heavier rainfall are possible from thunderstorms or convective bands as they form around the low. This may impact the Flood Watch area in the coming days. Catchments in the Flood Watch area are wet due to recent rainfall, with elevated river levels and flood impacts occurring in some catchments. Forecast rainfall in the affected catchments is expected to result in further river rises, areas of flooding and adversely impact road conditions. Some roads may become impassable and communities linked by roads may become isolated. The situation will be monitored closely and Flood Warnings will be issued as required.
