Note: This Flood Watch is a heads-up for possible future flooding and is NOT a
Flood Warning

Flood Watch for the Barwon, Moorabool, Leigh and Hovells Creek Catchments and
Otway Ranges
Issued at 10:03 am EST on Friday 3 September 2010
by the Bureau of Meteorology, Victorian Regional Office

A low pressure system over northern South Australia is expected to be centred
near Adelaide this evening, then will intensify as it moves southeastwards
across southwestern Victoria on Saturday to be near Tasmania Saturday night.
During Saturday widespread rain with heavy falls of 25 to 50 mm are forecast.

The South West catchments are wet as a result of rainfall over the past month
when minor to moderate flooding was experienced in the Barwon and Leigh
catchments. Forecast rainfall combined with wet catchment conditions is
expected to cause renewed stream rises with the possibility of minor to
moderate flooding developing over the South West catchments during Saturday.

The Bureau is monitoring the situation and will issue catchment specific
warnings if and when required.

In the interests of community safety the SES suggests following precautions:
* Don't walk, ride or drive through floodwater,

Flood Watch Advice

Issued 7 hours and 14 minutes ago

Tasmania

FLOOD WATCH ADVICE
Issued at 9:49am on Friday the 3rd of September 2010

Initial Flood Watch advice for all northern river basins.

Statement:
An approaching low will bring moderate to locally heavy rain and thunderstorms
about the northern half of the state during Saturday, before easing and
contracting to the west and south during Sunday.

Widespread totals of 30 to 40 mm are expected, with falls up to 100 mm
anticipated on the northern slopes of elevated areas, particularly in the
northeast quarter and along the Western Tiers.

Most river systems carry strong flows from rainfall over recent weeks. Further
rain during Saturday is likely to cause high levels of minor flooding by
Saturday evening.

Flash flooding late in the morning is probable in some areas, particularly when
rainfall rates are expected to be at their heaviest.

Strong and dangerous flows will be a hazard in most rivers and streams. Low
level roads and bridges may be at risk to flooding.

Weather Outlook:
Rain extending statewide during Saturday morning, with locally heavy falls and
possible flash flooding about the north.

Next advice: By 5 pm, Friday, 3 September 2010.

Warnings are available on "WeatherCall", number 1900 955 359 [approx. cost of 77
