Heavy rainfall possible between Tully and Ayr during the weekend and into the early part of the week.

Weather Situation
Significant rainfall may continue over the weekend about the Herbert and Lower Burdekin and the Cassowary Coast, with a monsoon trough in place, rich tropical moisture and onshore flow expected to strengthen. Enhanced rainfall due to widespread showers and isolated embedded thunderstorms is possible throughout the weekend and into the early part of the week, with extremely wet soils and river catchments leading to a higher than normal vulnerability to flash flooding.
HEAVY RAINFALL for the following areas:
North Tropical Coast and Tablelands and Herbert and Lower Burdekin
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is forecast for parts of the Herbert and Lower Burdekin and the North Tropical Coast this weekend. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 120 to 180 mm are possible. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 250 mm are possible. Isolated heavy falls are possible through the remainder of the weekend, before easing early this week.
Heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslides and debris across roads.

Issued at 09:53 PM EST on Saturday 08 February 2025
Flood Warning Number: 34

MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE WITH FORECAST RAINFALL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS ACROSS THE ROSS AND BOHLE RIVERS
River levels remain elevated on Saturday evening across the Ross and Bohle Rivers, and the Black River and Bluewater Creek catchments.
Further thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are forecast during the next few days. Whilst catchments remain wet from recent prolonged rainfall, any further rainfall is expected to result in rapid rises and 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 North Tropical Coast and Tablelands 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:
Moderate flooding may occur along the Ross River.
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) overnight Saturday. Further areas of heavy rainfall are forecast, which may cause renewed rises above the moderate flood level (1.60 m) during Sunday.

Bohle River:
Moderate flooding may occur along the Bohle River.
The Bohle River at Mt Bohle is currently at 4.51 metres and steady, above the minor flood level (4.00 m).
The Bohle River at Mt Bohle is likely to remain above the minor flood level (4.00 m) overnight Saturday. Further areas of heavy rainfall are forecast, which may cause renewed rises above the moderate flood level (5.50 m) during Sunday.

Black River and Bluewater Creek:
Renewed river and creek level rises below minor flood levels are occurring across the Black River and Bluewater Creek catchments during Saturday evening. River and creek levels will remain very responsive to the heavy rainfall forecast over the next few days, with further renewed rises expected.

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.}
