This is an archived message. The status has changed more recently.
River levels are now returning to normal; however, levels are likely to remain responsive to any further rainfall. Further rainfall is forecast for today and overnight into Wednesday. Thursday has the potential for heavier rainfall, remaining unsettled for the rest of the week. There may still be some areas where flood water is present until it can naturally drain away. Flood water is dangerous. Don't put yourself or others at risk. We will continue to monitor levels closely.
