HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is forecast for parts of the Lasseter and Simpson. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 50 and 80 mm are likely. 24-hourly rainfall totals between 80 and 120 mm are likely, with falls up to 160 mm possible.

Heavy rainfall is expected to ease during Tuesday.
