TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
Severe Weather Warning
for DAMAGING WINDS, ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES and DANGEROUS SURF
For people in parts of Wide Bay and Burnett and Southeast Coast Forecast Districts.
Issued at 10:35 pm Friday, 22 February 2019.
Abnormally high tides, dangerous surf, and damaging winds expected about the southeast Queensland coast and islands
Weather Situation: At 10pm AEST Friday, tropical cyclone Oma (category 1) was situated over the southern Coral Sea, approximately 650 kilometres east of Brisbane. Oma is expected to continue moving in a general southerly direction tonight, before turning back towards the north over the weekend.
Dangerous surf conditions are occurring about exposed beaches along the southeast Queensland coast south of Sandy Cape, including the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast tonight. These conditions are expected to continue over the weekend.
Water levels on the high tide are likely to continue to exceed the highest tide of the year about the southeast Queensland coast over the next few days.
This has the potential to be a significant beach erosion event given the combination of the large surf, abnormally high tides and the fact that these conditions should persist for a few days.
Locally damaging wind gusts in excess of 90 kilometres per hour are likely about the exposed coast and islands between Sandy Cape and the Qld/NSW border tonight and Saturday. These damaging wind gusts may extend to the southern border ranges, inland to about Springbrook and Tamborine Mountain, tonight and into Saturday.
Locations which may be affected include Gold Coast, Maroochydore, Moreton Island, North Stradbroke Island, Noosa Heads, Caloundra, Rainbow Beach, Fraser Island, Tamborine Mountain and Springbrook.
Locations which may be affected include Gold Coast, Maroochydore, Moreton Island, North Stradbroke Island, Noosa Heads, Caloundra, Rainbow Beach, Fraser Island, Tamborine Mountain and Springbrook.
Maximum wave heights of 12-13m recorded at Mooloolaba and off Point Lookout during Friday, which is larger than those recorded in cyclone Oswald.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
* Move your car under cover or away from trees.
* Secure loose outdoor items.
* Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees.
* Beware of fallen trees and powerlines.
* Surf Life Saving Australia recommends that you stay out of the water and stay well away from surf-exposed areas.
* Check your property regularly for erosion or inundation by sea water, and if necessary raise goods and electrical items.
* If near the coastline, stay well away from the water's edge.
* Never drive, walk or ride through flood waters. If it's flooded, forget it.
* Keep clear of creeks and storm drains.
* For emergency assistance contact the SES on 132 500.
The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 5:00 am AEST Saturday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 219. The Bureau and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.

northern side of the island, particularly on the high tides occurring around
midnight and midday.
DAMAGING WINDS averaging 30 to 35 kts (55 to 65 km/h), with gusts exceeding 48
kts (90 km/h), are expected tonight and Saturday.
For emergency help, ring the Lord Howe Island Police on [02] 6563 2199.

Flood Warning for the Diamantina River
Fri 13:47 CDT
Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, South Australia
Flood Warning for the Inland Rivers
For water flowing from the Diamantina River into South Australia
Issued at 1:46 pm CDT on Friday 22 February 2019
Flood Warning Number: 4
Heavy rain during early February across the upper part of the Diamantina
catchment in Queensland resulted in moderate to major flooding and flood waters
have moved further downstream. Flood waters are moving into the South
Australian section of the Diamantina River and into the Goyder Lagoon.
River levels continue to rise in the Diamantina River from the SA border and
into the Goyder Lagoon. Flood impacts such as inundation of flood plains,
cutting of minor roads and impact to graziers are expected for a number of days
and into next week.
It will take a number of weeks for the water to move through the Goyder Lagoon
and reach the Warburton River which flows into Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre. The
amount of water which makes its way further downstream is uncertain but it is
unlikely to fill the lake.
At Birdsville (QLD) the river is slowly peaking just above the major flood
level. For more information on the Diamantina in Queensland see;
http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/warnings/flood/diamantina-river.shtml
Warburton:
Rises in water level may take a number of weeks to occur in the Warburton River.
Flood Safety Advice:
People are advised to keep away from flowing water.
For flood emergency assistance contact the State Emergency Service on 132 500.
For life threatening emergencies call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

Major Flood Warning for the lower Flinders River and Minor Flood Warning for
the Norman River
Issued at 8:43 am EST on Thursday 21 February 2019
Flood Warning Number: 44
Floodwaters across the lower Flinders River have continued to very slowly ease,
based on satellite imagery. Major flooding will continue along parts of the
lower reaches of the Flinders River during this week.
The Flinders River has experienced its most significant flood in at least the
last 50 years. Record floodwaters in places had also broken out into adjacent
catchments.
It is recommended to look at satellite imagery (http://satview.bom.gov.au) to
appreciate the full extent of the flooding in and around the Flinders River
area, particularly the lower reaches of the Flinders River which extend into
the neighbouring catchment area of the Norman River.
No further significant rainfall is expected over the next few days.
Many automatic gauges across the Gulf Rivers catchments have returned to
service following a data outage over a week ago. However, the data continues to
be intermittent and some gauges are yet to return data.
Flinders River downstream of Richmond:
Flood levels downstream of Richmond continue to very slowly ease. Floodwaters
across the lower reaches of the Flinders River are contracting across the
floodplain, particularly in the area between Etta Plains and Canobie through to
Walkers Bend.
Record major flood levels are expected to be very slowly easing at Walkers
Bend. However no further data is available from this gauge. The Flinders River
at Walkers Bend will remain above the major flood level (5.60 m) during this
week.
Norman River:
Minor to moderate flood levels are slowly easing between Yappar River and
Normanton.
The Norman River at Normanton is currently at 3.46 metres (minor flood) and
falling. The Norman River at Normanton is expected to remain above the minor
flood level (2.00 m) during this week.

Correction: Changed title to FINAL.
Areas of widespread heavy rainfall are no longer expected. River level rises
above the minor flood level are no longer anticipated across the Flood Watch

means that the potential for heavy rainfall over the weekend has abated.

delayed start to the wet season.
A chance of showers remain across the Flood Watch area, but totals are no
longer considered to be significant.
