Source: Bureau of Meteorology
Issued at 12:30 pm EST on Monday 7 January 2019
Flood Watch Number: 1
River level rises above the minor flood level are possible across the Flood Watch area from Tuesday onwards.
Heavy rainfall associated with ex-tropical cyclone Penny is expected to develop over parts of the Central Coast overnight Monday into Tuesday. The focus for heavy rainfall will then move north during the week, most likely reaching southern parts of the North Tropical Coast overnight Wednesday.
Catchments between Cape Tribulation and Ingham are currently wet and river levels will respond quickly to the forecast rainfall. Elsewhere, catchments are drier and will initially be less responsive to rainfall.
Heavy rainfall may also lead to local flooding.
A severe weather warning for heavy rainfall and damaging winds is current for parts of the Flood Watch area.
Catchments likely to be affected include:
Daintree River
Mossman River
Barron River
Mulgrave and Russell Rivers
Johnstone River
Tully River
