Flood Watch Number: 12
RAINFALL RISK EASING ACROSS SOUTH WEST QUEENSLAND, FLOODWATERS TO CONTINUE MOVING SLOWLY THROUGH CATCHMENTS

A trough lingering over central Australia is beginning to move east across southern and central Queensland, and the threat of widespread rainfall across south west Queensland has largely eased.
Catchments within the Flood Watch area have become moderately wet in parts with areas of rainfall over the last week.
The chance of showers and thunderstorms remains over the next few days, but significant widespread rainfall totals are no longer expected in south west Queensland.
River level rises may continue over the coming weeks as floodwaters from upper parts of inland catchments continue to move downstream. Isolated minor riverine flooding remains possible over the coming weeks, but additional river level rises due to further rainfall are not expected to be significant. Disruption to transport and isolation of communities may continue.

Warrego River (QLD)
Bulloo River (QLD)
Cooper Creek
Diamantina River

Flooding is no longer expected in the following catchments: Warrego River (QLD), Bulloo River (QLD), Cooper Creek, Diamantina River (generalised warning current for the Diamantina catchment).
