INITIAL FLOOD WATCH FOR COASTAL CATCHMENTS BETWEEN ROLLINGSTONE AND ST LAWRENCE
Issued at 1:29 pm EST on Friday 4 March 2016
Issue Number: 1
Rain areas, showers and storms are expected during Friday over the northeastern
tropics from an upper trough which lies in the far north of the state. From
Saturday this upper trough will slowly move southwards over the central coast.
A surface trough will likely deepen offshore of the central coast during Sunday
and Monday.
Widespread daily rainfall totals of 50-150 mm are forecast from Saturday
through until Monday, with isolated higher totals in excess of 150 mm possible
associated with storms.
River level rises above the minor flood level are possible.
Heavy rainfall may also lead to localised flash flooding.
Catchments at risk within the Flood Watch area include Bluewater Creek and the
Black, Bohle, Ross, Haughton, Don, Proserpine and Pioneer Rivers.

to higher ground should flooding develop.
