FLOODING POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF THE NORTH AND NORTH-WEST CATCHMENTS FROM MONDAY A trough of low pressure over northern South Australia is generating widespread rain, assisted by an inflow of humid tropical air. This system brings a risk of heavy rain to northern parts of the state from Monday. The trough and heavy rain risk will shift slowly east during Tuesday and Wednesday, clearing the state by Thursday. Catchments in the Flood Watch area are moderately wet and are likely to respond quickly to rainfall. Forecast rainfall may cause river and creek level rises, prolonged overland flooding, and ponding from Monday onwards. Roads access may be affected, and some communities and homesteads my become isolated. Check road conditions before travelling.
