HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALISED FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FLOOD WATCH AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND A tropical low is situated over the Interior of Western Australia and is expected to continue weakening through the remainder of the weekend and into Monday. Catchments in the Flood Watch area are relatively wet due to recent rainfall. In northeastern parts of the Salt Lakes District Rivers, areas of heavier rainfall remain possible near the low. This may lead to localised flooding and hazardous road conditions. Some roads may become impassable, and communities may become isolated. Road conditions should be checked before travelling. Although rainfall has eased in the West Kimberley, river and creek levels are likely to remain elevated before slowly falling over the next few days. Localised flooding and transport disruptions may continue, though further significant river and creek rises are not expected. The situation is being monitored and Flood Warnings will be issued as required.
