Logan is on flood watch ahead of potential heavy rainful expected to hit the region today and on Wednesday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of possible flooding around the Logan and Albert River catchments, as well as others across the south east and southern inland Queensland.
“Minor flooding may develop across parts of the flood watch area from late Wednesday, with isolated moderate to major flooding possible across coastal catchments,” a BOM statement released this afternoon read.
“A trough will move east across Queensland during Tuesday and Wednesday.
“The trough is forecast to bring moderate to heavy rainfall to the Flood Watch area from late Tuesday. Minor flooding is possible across the Flood Watch area from late Wednesday.”
According to BOM, coastal catchments are very wet from recenty weather and “likely to respond quickly to further rainfall”.
“Localised river level rises and areas of flash flooding are likely within the areas of heaviest rainfall.”
