Some areas, according to Weatherzone, had already collected several months’ rain in one or two days earlier this week, resulting in flooding and roads being off.
While the nation enjoyed some respite from the rain yesterday, those conditions are to be short lived, with more intense conditions expected today and into the weekend.
“Another pulse of heavier rainfall will develop over WA’s Kimberley and the NT Interior on Friday and Saturday, before spreading further east across Queensland from Sunday into early next week,” Weatherzone said.
“Some forecast models also suggest New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and even Tasmania could pick up some rain from this system next week.
“As of 4pm AEST on Thursday, flood watches had already been issued in WA and the NT.
“More flood watches and possibly flood warnings will be issued in the next few days as this second pulse of rain spreads across northern and central Australia.”
The expected dumping comes as Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issues warnings to every Aussie state and territory today over extreme marine winds.
