‼️Important information in the below link for the upcoming weather event. Stay informed by following the BOM‼️

Weather Situation: A broad tropical low (12U) has formed in the Coral Sea and will begin slowly moving towards the northeast Queensland coast over the next few days. The low is expected to move inland over the weekend. To the south of the low, a surge in southeasterly winds is also expected to bring a risk of damaging winds to coastal areas. Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to become more widespread with areas of heavy rainfall developing on Friday and continuing over the weekend.

For the NORTH TROPICAL COAST: HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is forecast to develop during Friday and continue into Saturday. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 100 to 150 mm are likely, with isolated falls in excess of 200 mm possible. East to southeasterly DAMAGING WINDS averaging 55 to 65 km/h with wind gusts around 90 km/h are also possible during Friday and Saturday, particularly about coastal areas in showers and thunderstorms.

For the HERBERT AND LOWER BURDEKIN and parts of the CENTRAL COAST AND WHITSUNDAYS: HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is forecast to develop to the west of Townsville from late Friday night and extend through the remainder of the Herbert are Lower Burdekin district on Saturday. Six-hourly rainfall totals between 80 to 140 mm are likely, with isolated falls in excess of 180 mm possible. East to southeasterly DAMAGING WINDS averaging 55 to 65 km/h are also expected about exposed coastal parts during Friday and continue throughout Saturday, as the winds shift northeasterly during the afternoon and evening.

Conditions could begin to ease about the North Tropical Coast by Saturday evening but may persist into Sunday over parts of the Herbert and Lower Burdekin. This is dependent on the development and location of the tropical low.

The low is being monitoring closely and if further strengthening is likely then a Tropical Cyclone Advice may be issued.

Separate Flood Watch and Warning products are current for parts of northeast Queensland. For more information, check https://www.bom.gov.au/weather-and-climate/warnings-and-alerts

* Charge mobile phones and power banks in case the power goes out.
* Put your pets somewhere safe and make sure they can be identified in case they get lost.
* Do not drive now unless you have to because conditions are dangerous.
