    Instructions
    In the North Head rain forecast graph, change the system of measurement by clicking the link on the top right of the graph, WillyWeather will remember your selection for the next time you visit. To find the closest rain forecast locations to North Head, see the 'closest locations' link and the map in the sidebar to the right.
    The Data
    WillyWeather sources its probability of precipitation information from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The probability of precipitation information that we receive from the BoM, for a particular day may contain many different chances of rainfall and corresponding amounts of rain. We take the chance that it will rain from the file, then we display what we believe to be the most likely amount that will fall. Please also note that the North Head rain forecast for each day actually starts the previous night. The North Head rainfall period for each day goes from 10:00pm the night before to 10:00pm the following day. So there will be occasions where late showers on one day will be displayed in the forecast of the following day.

    Note: This Flood Watch is a "heads up" for possible future flooding and is NOT a
    Flood Warning [see note below].

    Areas of rain and isolated thunderstorms are expected to increase in the west
    today as a low pressure system deepens over South Australia. This low is
    expected to move through western Victoria during Saturday, bringing the
    potential for windy conditions and heavy rainfall over inland parts of New South
    Wales. Forecast rain totals can be seen on the Bureau's Internet site under
    Water and the Land.

    The area is generally wet from recent rain and the following areas have a higher
    than 70% chance of local flooding and minor to moderate main river flooding
    this Saturday:

    1. Macquarie Valley - including Bathurst, Orange, Molong and the Bell River
    2. Bogan Valley
    3. Lachlan Valley - including the Belubula River and Mandagery Creek

    higher ground should flooding develop. Flood Warnings will be issued if Minor
    Flood Level is expected to be exceeded at key sites along the main rivers for

    about 70% of Flood Watches are followed by flooding.

    Issued at 11:42 am EST on Friday 3 September 2010
    by the Bureau of Meteorology, Victorian Regional Office

    A low pressure system over northern South Australia is expected to be centred
    near Adelaide this evening, then will intensify as it moves southeastwards
    across southwestern Victoria on Saturday to be near Tasmania Saturday night.

    about the ranges. Rainfall totals of 15 to 30 mm are forecast with higher
    totals of up to 50 mm possible over the ranges.

    Catchments in the Greater Melbourne area are wet as a result of rainfall over
    the past month. Forecast rainfall combined with wet catchment conditions may
    lead to significant stream rises with the possibility of minor flooding
    developing during Saturday into Sunday. The main areas of concern are the Upper
    Yarra and Werribee catchments.

    The Bureau of Meteorology in conjunction with Melbourne Water are continuing to
    monitor the situation and will issue catchment specific warnings when required.

    In the interests of community safety the SES suggests following precautions:
    * Don't walk, ride or drive through floodwater,
    * Don't allow children to play in floodwater,
    * Stay away from waterways and stormwater drains, and
    * Keep well clear of fallen power lines

    Contact the SES on 132 500, if emergency assistance is required.

    Flood Watch Advice
    Issued 7 hours and 11 minutes ago
    Tasmania


    FLOOD WATCH ADVICE
    Issued at 9:49am on Friday the 3rd of September 2010

    Initial Flood Watch advice for all northern river basins.

    Statement:
    An approaching low will bring moderate to locally heavy rain and thunderstorms
    about the northern half of the state during Saturday, before easing and
    contracting to the west and south during Sunday.

    Widespread totals of 30 to 40 mm are expected, with falls up to 100 mm
    anticipated on the northern slopes of elevated areas, particularly in the
    northeast quarter and along the Western Tiers.

    Most river systems carry strong flows from rainfall over recent weeks. Further
    rain during Saturday is likely to cause high levels of minor flooding by
    Saturday evening.

    Flash flooding late in the morning is probable in some areas, particularly when
    rainfall rates are expected to be at their heaviest.

    Strong and dangerous flows will be a hazard in most rivers and streams. Low
    level roads and bridges may be at risk to flooding.

    Weather Outlook:
    Rain extending statewide during Saturday morning, with locally heavy falls and
    possible flash flooding about the north.

    Next advice: By 5 pm, Friday, 3 September 2010.

    Warnings are available on "WeatherCall", number 1900 955 359 [approx. cost of 77
    cents/min., inc. GST] and on the Bureau's web site,
