00:02Adelaide River at the Township is currently at around 10.4 metres and rising and we expect
00:08minor flooding is possible during this afternoon. The Waterhouse River at Beswick Community
00:15has peaked during this morning just below the major flood level and it is now slowly
00:21dropping away there at Beswick but again with additional rainfall we could expect renewed
00:26rises. The Catherine River importantly we saw the the warning for the Catherine River Bridge
00:34downgraded yesterday evening to a minor flood warning however with that line of storms that
00:39came through we've seen that brought back up to a moderate or major flood as well possible for
00:45Catherine River. So at the Nitmaluck Centre minor flooding is occurring and it is steady at around
00:514.9 metres. At the Catherine Bridge minor flooding is occurring and it's at 16.17 metres and falling
01:00but moderate flooding is possible at the Catherine River this evening so the moderate flood level is
01:0516.5 metres. And finally the Daly River community of Nauyu is still experiencing major flood flooding at
01:14that location and is expected to continue rising throughout this week and again with this pulse
01:19of water that continues to be rejuvenated in the upstream locations that that will contribute to
01:25increased river rises at Daly River. So we are looking at a very significant flooding event
01:31at the Daly River community. So during the rest of today we are expecting widespread rainfall
01:38totals of around 20 to 40 millimetres. Heavier rainfall totals above 100 millimetres are possible
01:44and that kind of rain especially in a short amount of time can definitely result in localised and flash
01:51flooding. As we look towards the rest of the week this trough that has been bringing such heavy rainfall
01:57does persist across the top end but the more central area of the low pressure system is moving slowly
02:04south west and will eventually move out of our area. But really for the rest of the week we do
02:10still have
02:10rainfall occurring in the top end, isolated heavy falls with thunderstorms and localised flooding possible.
