This message has been issued pre-emptively ahead of forecast thunderstorms. Small, flashier rivers and streams may respond to heavy rainfall as a result of localised thunderstorms passing through the area. Given the unpredictable nature of thunderstorms, there is low confidence in the locations and impacts of rainfall at this point.
Areas most at risk are low lying agricultural land, roads and footpaths close to small rivers and streams. Water levels could rise rapidly and potentially generate deep, fast flows.
There is the potential for thunderstorms through Friday and again on Sunday, 05/05/2024, and Monday, 06/05/2024, with low confidence over exact timing and locations.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area.
Please stay aware in case further alerts or warnings are issued and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated daily at 15:00, or as the situation changes.
