Severe Weather Warning
for Heavy, Locally Intense Rainfall
for Herbert and Lower Burdekin and parts of Peninsula, Gulf Country, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands and Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders Forecast Districts.
Issued at 10:43 am Monday, 10 February 2025.
Heavy to locally intense rainfall across northern Queensland early this week.
Weather Situation
Significant rainfall continues about northern Queensland until early Wednesday, with a low over the Gulf Country embedded in the monsoon trough, expected to move slowly southeast over the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders into Tuesday. Enhanced rainfall due to widespread showers and isolated embedded thunderstorms is possible early this week, with extremely wet soils and river catchments leading to a higher than normal vulnerability to flash flooding.
HEAVY, LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL for the following areas:
Peninsula, Gulf Country, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders and Herbert and Lower Burdekin
For the Gulf Country, southern Peninsula, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders:
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is forecast during Monday and Tuesday. LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL is possible overnight into Tuesday, most likely over the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 120 to 150 mm are possible. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 250 mm are possible.
For the North Tropical Coast and Herbert and Lower Burdekin:
Potential for stronger showers and thunderstorms to produce localised HEAVY to INTENSE RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING, most likely developing overnight into Tuesday. Broader areas of HEAVY RAINFALL are then forecast to develop later on Monday and into Tuesday. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 120 to 180 mm are possible during Monday, and could increase further up to 250 mm on Tuesday morning. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 220 mm are possible, with up to 300 mm possible into Tuesday.
A separate Severe Thunderstorm Warning will be issued if very dangerous thunderstorms with intense rainfall are detected.
Rainfall is forecast to ease across the warning area from early Wednesday morning.
Heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
A Flood Watch and various Flood Warnings are current for parts of Queensland. Please refer to http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/warnings for more information.
Locations which may be affected include Townsville, Georgetown, Palm Island, Ingham, Croydon and Kowanyama.

Moderate Flood Warning For The Ross And Bohle Rivers And Flood Warning For The Black River And Bluewater Creek
Issued at 07:18 AM EST on Monday 10 February 2025
Flood Warning Number: 39
MINOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING AT APLIN WEIR
FURTHER RAINFALL IS FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHICH MAY CAUSE RENEWED MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING AT APLIN WEIR AND MT BOHLE
Further thunderstorms and periods of heavy rainfall are forecast during the next few days. Catchments remain wet from recent prolonged rainfall. Any further localised heavy rainfall is expected to result in rapid rises and may lead to a return of more significant flooding across the Townsville area.
As advised by Townsville City Council, Ross River Dam will see controlled releases through the spillway. This will contribute to flows downstream in the Ross River.
A Severe Weather Warning is current for parts of the Peninsula, Gulf Country, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders and Herbert and Lower Burdekin Forecast Districts.
The flood situation is being closely monitored and forecasts and warnings will be updated as required.
Ross River:
Minor flooding is occurring along the Ross River, however, localised heavy rainfall may result in renewed moderate flooding.
The Ross River at Aplin Weir is currently at 1.26 metres and steady, above the minor flood level (1.10 m).
The Ross River at Aplin Weir is likely to remain above the minor flood level (1.10 m) during Monday. Further areas of localised heavy rainfall may cause renewed river level rises to the moderate flood level (1.60 m) overnight Monday into Tuesday.
Bohle River:
Renewed minor to moderate flooding is possible along the Bohle River with localised heavy rainfall.
The Bohle River at Mt Bohle is currently at 2.91 metres and rising, below the minor flood level (4.00 m).
Localised areas of heavy rainfall may cause renewed river level rises to the minor flood level (4.00 m) during Monday afternoon, with further rises to around the moderate flood level (5.50 m) possible during Tuesday.
Black River and Bluewater Creek:
River and creek levels are continuing to ease across the Black River and Bluewater Creek catchments during Monday morning. The catchments will remain very responsive to any localised heavy rainfall over the next few days, with renewed rises possible.
Flood Safety Advice:
Remember: If it's flooded, forget it. For flood emergency assistance contact the SES on 132 500. For life threatening emergencies, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.}
