Advice - Met - Stay Informed Minor the Ovens and King Rivers Yesterday at 12:50 PM
This Flood Watch is being issued for the Ovens and King Rivers.

Flooding possible across the flood watch area from Late Sunday into early next week.

Moderate to heavy rainfall associated with a strong cold front has the potential to cause widespread minor and isolated moderate flooding across parts of North East, Gippsland and Central Victoria from late Sunday and into early next week. Catchments are moderately wet following recent rainfall and rivers may respond quickly to any further rainfall.

Parts of North West Victoria are also being closely monitored as the rainfall situation develops. This FloodWatch will be updated and Flood Warnings will be issued as required.

River and creek level rises, areas of localised flooding, and overland inundation are possible across parts of the Flood Watch area. Check road conditions before travelling.
Stay informed - monitor your local conditions and remain alert.
What you should do:
  • Decide what you and your family will do if flooding impacts you. For information on how to prepare go to www.ses.vic.gov.au/get-ready/floodsafe.
  • Stay informed by listening to emergency broadcasters and monitoring warnings.
  • Farmers should consider moving livestock and machinery to higher ground.
  • Contact family members and neighbours to ensure they are aware of the situation.
