Severe Weather Warning
for Heavy Rainfall
for East Gippsland and parts of West and South Gippsland Forecast Districts.
Issued at 4:43 pm Sunday, 9 February 2025.
Periods of heavy rainfall possible through Gippsland during Monday.
Weather Situation
A developing upper low over NSW combined with a very moist east to southeasterly flow will generate conditions favourable for heavy rainfall across much of Gippsland during Monday.
HEAVY RAINFALL for the following areas:
East Gippsland and West and South Gippsland
Periods of HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING are possible over parts of Gippsland from Monday morning, becoming less likely through the overnight period into Tuesday. Scattered six-hourly rainfall totals between 30 and 70 mm are possible, with isolated totals of 120 mm possible.
Isolated HEAVY RAINFALL is also possible with thunderstorms for the remainder of Sunday and early Monday, and will be covered by separate Severe Thunderstorm Warnings as required.
Locations which may be affected include Sale, Maffra, Bairnsdale, Orbost, Buchan and Mallacoota.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* If driving conditions are dangerous, safely pull over away from trees, drains, low-lying areas and floodwater. Avoid travel if possible.
* Stay safe by avoiding dangerous hazards, such as floodwater, mud, debris, damaged roads and fallen trees.
* Be aware - heat, fire or recent storms may make trees unstable and more likely to fall when it's windy or wet.
* Check that loose items, such as outdoor settings, umbrellas and trampolines are safely secured. Move vehicles under cover or away from trees.
* Stay indoors and away from windows.
* If outdoors, move to a safe place indoors. Stay away from trees, drains, gutters, creeks and waterways.
* Stay away from fallen powerlines - always assume they are live.
* Be aware that in fire affected areas, rainfall run-off into waterways may contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. Heavy rainfall may also increase the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
* Stay informed: Monitor weather warnings, forecasts and river levels at the Bureau of Meteorology website, and warnings through VicEmergency website/app/hotline.
The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 11:00 pm AEDT 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 State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
