WIDESPREAD MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE, ISOLATED MAJOR FLOODING POSSIBLE Moderate to heavy rainfall is forecast across parts of northern, central, and southeastern Queensland for the next few days, as a broad trough draws in deep tropical moisture across the state. Catchments across the North Tropical Coast, Central Coast and parts of the Capricornia and Wide Bay are wet to saturated from recent rainfall. Catchments along the southeastern coast, and throughout central Queensland are less wet but will still respond quickly to heavy rainfall. Multiple minor to major Flood Warnings are current across Queensland. Widespread minor to moderate riverine flooding is possible across the Flood Watch area into Sunday, with isolated major flooding a possibility in the areas of heaviest rainfall. Rapid river level rises and localised flooding are possible in areas of heavy rainfall. Disruption to transport routes is likely across parts of the Flood Watch area.
