Northeast NSW is on flood alert with further heavy rain expected this week. Dubbo has already picked up 169mm, its highest 4 day rain total in at least 11 years. But for parts of the Mid North Coast, this much rain has fallen in a day! Bellingen has been soaked by over 150mm in the last 24 hours. Further inland, Glenn Innes has received 44mm to 9am this morning while Gunnedah has had its best day of rain in a year with 45mm.
Today, up to 100mm of further rain is possible for places northeast of line from Walgett to Forster so flooding and river rises are likely.
Most of QLD will also see showers and thunderstorms except for the far southwest corner. Normanton in the Gulf picked up almost 50mm in just one hour this morning. Coastal area have also copped heavy rain with 80mm in Rockhampton and 30mm in Brisbane Airport. Showers will clear from southeast QLD tomorrow, with heavier falls tending towards central and western parts of the state.
