FLOODING POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK A trough will linger for several days across western, southern, and central Queensland, drawing deep tropical moisture broadly across the state. This is expected to enhance shower and storm activity over multiple days, though the focus will contract northward during the early days of this coming week. Catchments are becoming wet after rainfall over the last few days, with river level rises and areas of flooding likely across the Flood Watch area over the weekend and into next week. Rapid river level rises are possible in areas that receive the heaviest rainfall. Heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding, including over densely populated areas within the Flood Watch. There remains significant uncertainty in the location and timing of the heaviest falls. The situation will be monitored closely and Flood Warnings issued as required.
