BOM has warned minor flooding is possible again across central and south-east Queensland, including the Boyne and Burnett river catchments.
At 2:04pm on Thursday, the Bureau of Meteorology issued a “Flood Watch” that warned showers and rainfall were forecast across central and south-eastern parts of the State from Friday.
A spokesperson said catchments in the Flood Watch area are saturated from heavy rainfall over the past week and are likely to respond quickly to any further rainfall.
The heaviest rain was expected along coastal parts.
Minor flooding is possible across the Flood Watch area, which may lead to localised transport disruption and flooding in low-lying areas close to rivers and creeks.
Catchments likely to be affected include: Dawson and Don rivers; Connors, Isaac and Styx rivers and Plane Creek; Mackenzie and Fitzroy rivers and Shoalwater and Water Park creeks; Calliope River; Boyne River; Baffle Creek; Kolan River; Burnett River; Burrum and Cherwell rivers; Mary River; Noosa River; Sunshine Coast rivers and creeks; Pine and Caboolture rivers and the Upper Brisbane River.
People living or working along rivers and creeks should monitor the latest weather forecasts and warnings.
