ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC:
FLOODING OCCURRING IN PARTS OF FLOOD WATCH AREA WITH FURTHER INLAND FLOODING POSSIBLE
A tropical low over the top end of the Northern Territory is forecast to drift slowly towards the south west over the coming days. This system is expected to bring widespread rainfall, including locally heavy rainfall, across the eastern Kimberley and parts of Sturt Creek District catchments from Friday, extending to parts of Central and Western Inland areas during the weekend.
Catchments in the Flood Watch area are wet from recent rainfall. Forecast rainfall may cause further significant water level rises in rivers and creeks, as well as prolonged overland flooding and ponding.
Roads may become impassable. Some communities and homesteads may become isolated. Check road conditions before travelling.
