Along the Cooper Creek, renewed minor flooding is occurring at Windorah (Main Channel), with the renewed river level rises are likely to exceed the moderate flood level during Friday and to exceed the major flood level form late in the weekend and into next week. Further rises are likely as upstream flows arrive from the Thomson and Barcoo Rivers.
Peak forecasts will be refined as upstream peaks are observed.
In the lower Cooper Creek catchment, moderate to heavy rainfall was recorded in the last few days which has caused minor to moderate flooding along the lower Cooper Creek and its tributaries.
