Small, flashier rivers and streams may respond to heavy rainfall as a result of localised thunderstorms passing through the area. This message has been issued pre-emptively ahead of localised thunderstorms between midnight on Friday 18/07/25 and 21:00 Saturday 19/07/25. Given the unpredictable nature of thunderstorms, there is low confidence in the locations and impacts of rainfall at this point. Areas most at risk are low lying agricultural land, roads and footpaths close to small rivers and streams. Water levels could rise rapidly and potentially generate deep, fast flows.

Thunderstorms are forecast over the next 48 hours, with low confidence over exact timing and locations.

We are closely monitoring the situation.

Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.

To check the status of road closures online, please visit the One Network live map.

This message will be updated by 09:00 tomorrow morning, 19/07/25, or as the situation changes.
