Severe Weather Warning
for Heavy Rainfall
for parts of Peninsula, Gulf Country, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders and Herbert and Lower Burdekin Forecast Districts.
Issued at 10:56 am Sunday, 9 February 2025.
Heavy rainfall continues across northern Queensland into the early part of the week.
Weather Situation
Significant rainfall may continue about northern Queensland, with a monsoon trough in place and rich tropical moisture until early Wednesday. Enhanced rainfall due to widespread showers and isolated embedded thunderstorms is possible throughout the remainder 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:
Peninsula, Gulf Country, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders and Herbert and Lower Burdekin
For North Tropical Coast and Herbert and Lower Burdekin:
Rainfall has temporarily eased, however showers and thunderstorms may still produce localised HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING. Broad areas of HEAVY RAINFALL are forecast to redevelop early Tuesday morning and persist for much of the day. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 120 to 180 mm are possible today and Monday and could increase on Tuesday. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 200 mm are possible.
For Gulf Country and Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders:
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is forecast to develop this afternoon mostly northwest of Dunbar to Normanton and extending throughout the remainder of the area early Monday morning. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 120 to 150 mm are possible. Isolated 24-hourly rainfall totals up to 250 mm are possible.
Rainfall is forecast to ease across the warning area 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, Normanton, Ingham, Croydon and Kowanyama.
Emergency services advise people to:
* Park your car undercover away from trees.
* Close doors and windows.
* Keep asthma medications close by. Storms and wind can trigger asthma attacks.
* Charge mobile phones and power banks in case the power goes out.
* 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 5:00 pm AEST Sunday.
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.Sun 10:56am UTC Severe weather advice QLDAustralian Government Bureau of Meteorology
