Severe weather update 4 March 2022
There's a chance of a thunderstorm, possibly severe with locally heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding during this afternoon and evening.
Rain is predicted to hang around for another week. Potential for some minor flash flooding and further road closures due to the already saturated ground.
Keep away from waterways, flooded areas and storm channels – they're not a place to play.
Stay alert and please keep up to date with latest from BOM and the City dashboard.
Remember - if it's flooded, forget it.
