Updated 2:48 pm Sunday 23 October
Small, flashier rivers and streams in the area may respond to heavy rainfall as a result of localised thunderstorms passing through the area.
This message has been issued pre-emptively ahead of localised thunderstorms forecast for tonight 23/10/22 and into tomorrow 24/10/22. Given the unpredictable nature of thunderstorms, there is low confidence in the locations and impacts of rainfall at this point.
Areas most at risk are low lying agricultural land, roads and footpaths close to small rivers and streams.
Water levels could rise rapidly and potentially generate deep, fast flows. Thunderstorms are forecast over the next 24 hours, with low confidence over exact timing and locations, followed by light rain on Monday.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area and clearing weed screens. Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 24/10/22, or as the situation changes.
