Heavy rain is continuing to pound Qld's tropical coast. In just 24 hours to 9am this morning, rain gauges around Townsville were hit by rain totals around the 150mm mark. The highest recorded total was in Rollingstone with 209mm. A severe weather warning for flash flooding is in place for the Herbert and Lower Burdekin and North Tropical Coast, with the today's heaviest rain expected between Cairns and Townsville. As the deluge tracks further north over the weekend, places between Cooktown to Cairns will be the hotspots of heavy rain over Saturday and Sunday. Falls over the 100mm mark are possible each day.
But for the southeast, it's a weekend of sunny days and balmy nights which will almost guarantee packed streets across Adelaide for the Fringe festival. The warm weather is being fuelled by dry northerly winds, so fire weather is expected to lift to dangerous levels across parts of Victoria.
