00:01It's a very wet and gloomy day as you can see where I'm standing here at Burleigh, an
00:06area that copped over 120 millimetres in the gauge in the 24 hours today.
00:12Now not the only area at that, Tallai, also Talibudgera getting those quite large totals
00:17as well and really just drenching a region but this was weather that we were expecting.
00:22The Bureau of Meteorology put out a widespread severe weather warning for most of South East
00:28Queensland really just to be aware that this heavy rainfall was on the way and what was
00:33forewarned was actually less than what was delivered so in many ways actually a relief
00:37what we did see in the gauge but those totals over 100 millimetres still plenty for the people
00:42that did see it and while it has well and truly softened on the Gold Coast it's still yet to
00:48fully let up.
00:49Now these wet conditions are set to continue for much of the weekend.
00:53That sustained rainfall obviously putting forward some concerns for authorities.
00:57There's the potential for flash flooding that might continue as these conditions continue
01:02as well Joe.
01:03So it's just about keeping off any unstable environments if possible and just, well you
01:09don't need to avoid travelling or being on roads, just being as cautious as possible.
01:13Yes and not too much impact from today but what's expected across the rest of today and the weekend?
01:20That's right. So this weather system and as I say we'll continue on the Gold Coast over the coming
01:25days across the weekend we will continue to see this rain. It's going to move a bit further north so
01:30Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast more in the firing line for this weather system as it makes its way
01:35further up that way and the Weather Bureau saying that the next 12 hours is that real window of
01:41opportunity for the heaviest rainfall before it does let up and then we'll see smaller totals but still
01:47plenty of rain at that coming right through the southeast Queensland region and from there that
01:53rain is set to push up into central Queensland and into the Wide Bay region as well. So it's just
01:58keeping across the warnings as they come out and just acting as responsibly as you can
02:04when this heavy rainfall is falling in your region.
