Severe Weather Warning
for Heavy Rainfall
for parts of Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Tablelands and Snowy Mountains Forecast Districts.
Issued at 10:49 am Friday, 10 May 2024.
Localised heavy rainfall possible on the South Coast and Illawarra during the weekend.
Weather Situation
A coastal trough about the southeast coast is forecast to deepen into a coastal low in response to an upper low over central parts of the state this weekend.
HEAVY RAINFALL for the following areas:
Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Tablelands and Snowy Mountains
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING may develop over northern parts of the South Coast, southern parts of the Illawarra and eastern parts of the Southern Tablelands from Saturday morning and persist into Sunday.
Six-hourly rainfall totals between 70 and 90 mm, with isolated 120 mm are possible. 24-hourly totals between 70 to 100 mm are likely and isolated falls up to 200 mm are possible in the ranges.
HEAVY RAINFALL is forecast to ease during Sunday afternoon.
Locations which may be affected include Batemans Bay, Moruya Heads, Ulladulla and Araluen.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* Don't drive, ride or walk through flood water.
* Keep clear of creeks and storm drains.
* If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue.
* Be aware that run-off from rainfall in fire affected areas may behave differently and be more rapid. It may also contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks.
* After bushfires, heavy rain and the loss of foliage can make the ground soft and heavy, leading to a greater chance of landslides.
* Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires.
* For emergency help in floods and storms, ring your local SES Unit on 132 500.
The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 5:00 pm AEST Friday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
