ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC: RIVER AND CREEK LEVEL RISES AND LOCALISED FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FLOOD WATCH AREA FROM SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Dianne is over the interior of Western Australia, and is forecast to move towards the Northern Territory.
This will lead to an increase in thunderstorms and rainfall across the Flood Watch area from today, with rainfall increasing during Monday.
Catchments in the Flood Watch area are generally dry.
Moderate to heavy falls are likely within the Flood Watch area from Sunday evening. Widespread daily rainfall totals of between 15-70 mm are likely, with isolated daily falls of 70-100 mm possible.
Significant river, creek, and stream level rises are likely with heavy rainfall, as well as overland inundation and areas of localised flooding across the Flood Watch area.
Many roads, including secondary highways, may be affected.
Some communities and homesteads may become isolated.
Check road conditions before travelling.
