What are we expecting?
The Bureau of Meteorology advises minor flooding possible at Tuncurry Friday evening on the high tide.
Moderate to locally heavy rainfall recorded in the Wallis Lake catchment since Thursday afternoon has caused river level rises along the Wallamba River at Nabiac and Wang Wauk River at Willina.
The combined flows from the Wallamba and Wang Wauk Rivers may result in minor flooding in Wallis Lake at Tuncurry Friday evening, on the high tide.
Further rainfall is forecast for the remainder of Friday, which may lead to additional river and lake level rises.
Based on predictions from the Bureau of Meteorology, the following areas may be impacted by dangerous floodwaters:
- Low lying areas adjacent to the river
