HEAVY RAINFALL AND RIVER LEVEL RISES OCCURRING ACROSS PARTS OF THE WESTERN CAPE YORK PENINSULA INCREASED FLOODING POSSIBLE FROM SATURDAY ACROSS THE WESTERN CAPE YORK PENINSULA, EXTENDING TO GULF CATCHMENTS EARLY NEXT WEEK FLOODING POSSIBLE ALONG THE NORTH EAST COASTAL RIVERS FROM MONDAY A tropical low embedded within the monsoon trough has produced heavy rainfall across parts of the western Cape York Peninsula. Kowanyama Airport recorded 306 mm in the 24 hours to 9:00 am Saturday, resulting in major flooding along Magnificent Creek at Kowanyama. Further heavy rainfall is expected to continue across western Cape York Peninsula catchments, extending into parts of Gulf of Carpentaria catchments early next week. This rainfall may lead to new and renewed flooding, particularly where catchments are saturated and river levels are already elevated. In addition, moderate to heavy rainfall is forecast for the north east coast from Sunday. Catchments in this region remain wet to saturated following recent rainfall and flooding, and further rainfall may result in rapid river rises and flooding. Catchments within the Flood Watch area are generally wet to saturated. Elevated river levels and areas of flooding are already occurring in some locations, and rivers and creeks are expected to respond quickly to any additional rainfall. New and renewed flooding is possible from Saturday and into early next week across the Flood Watch area.
