00:00We have seen that southeasterly surge starting to push up through southeast Queensland, which
00:06means finally we should have a drier day on the way for those southeastern parts of the
00:10state.
00:11After seeing yet another widespread 30 to 60 millimetres through yesterday, with many
00:15locations seeing rainfall totals in the 80 to 120 millimetre range.
00:20In fact, looking at the rainfall totals since 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the top total
00:24we've seen has been 191 millimetres at Amberley, followed by 130 at Cobble Creek.
00:29Worth noting that almost 70 millimetres of that 130 fell in the space of about 30 minutes
00:34yesterday afternoon.
00:35Now, of course, this has had follow through effects for the flooding.
00:38We now do have a major flood warning in place for the Logan River about the scenic rim that
00:43is likely to peak at Bow Desert sometime this morning.
00:47But we do have, of course, a number of other minor flood warnings, a moderate still in
00:51place for the Mary River as well across those southeastern parts of the state.
00:55But as I said, drier today, the rainfall is pushing north with that southeasterly surge.
00:59Unfortunately, though, that means that areas pretty much north of Gladstone or so are still
01:04likely to see more of that wet, stormy weather on the way today.
01:08Yeah, definitely a risk again, that risk of heavy rain and flash flooding, mostly focused
01:13around the north tropical coast for today and some of those adjacent inland areas.
01:17Likely to be the trend through tomorrow and into the early part of the weekend as well.
01:21That tropical low we were talking about yesterday is still forecast to develop sometime in the
01:25next day or so.
01:27Still not expected to become a cyclone, but really could enhance that rainfall across
01:31parts of the Cape York Peninsula and the north tropical coast in particular.
