HEAVY RAINFALL AND RIVER LEVEL RISES OCCURRING ACROSS PARTS OF THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA INCREASED FLOODING POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN QUEENSLAND OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS A trough extends over the Gulf Country and the North Tropical Coast and will drift slowly north over the next few days. On the east coast, areas of moderate to locally heavy rainfall should contract north of Townsville this evening and north of Cairns during Wednesday. In the Gulf Country and western Peninsula, moderate to heavy rainfall may persist for several days as the trough lingers. Catchments in northern Queensland remain wet to saturated with areas of flooding already occurring following recent rainfall. Further rainfall may result in rapid river level rises and flooding across the Flood Watch area.
