TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
Severe Weather Warning
for Heavy, Locally Intense Rainfall
for Herbert and Lower Burdekin and parts of North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders and Central Coast and Whitsundays Forecast Districts.
Issued at 4:33 am Tuesday, 11 February 2025.
Heavy to locally intense rainfall across northern Queensland.
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 east over the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders on 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:
North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders, Herbert and Lower Burdekin and Central Coast and Whitsundays
For the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders:
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is forecast today. LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is possible today. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 100 to 150 mm are possible. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 200 mm are possible.
For the North Tropical Coast and Herbert and Lower Burdekin:
Potential for stronger showers and thunderstorms to produce localised HEAVY to LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING, continuing this morning. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 120 to 180 mm are possible this morning. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 250 mm possible, especially over the Cassowary and Townsville coasts.
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 Bowen, Townsville, Georgetown, Ingham, Ayr and Proserpine.

* Put your pets somewhere safe and make sure they can be identified in case they get lost.
* Do not drive now unless you have to because conditions are dangerous.
* Tell friends, family and neighbours in the area.
* Go inside a strong building now. Stay inside until the storm has passed.
The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 11:00 am AEST Tuesday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and emergency services would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.Tue 4:33am UTC Severe weather advice QLDAustralian Government Bureau of Meteorology
