Minor flooding is possible from Sunday evening across parts of the
Flood Watch area.
Isolated heavy rainfall is possible in the Flood Watch area from
Sunday afternoon into Monday as a coastal trough moves onshore.
Rainfall is expected to ease during Monday.
Catchments are relatively wet following rainfall earlier this
month and will therefore be more responsive to heavy rainfall, with
riverine flooding possible from Sunday evening.

throughout the Flood Watch area, particularly in the areas of
heaviest rainfall.
Catchments likely to be affected include:
Endeavour River
Daintree River
(Including the Bloomfield River)

Johnstone River
Tully River
Murray River
