Substantial rainfall event looms for Queensland coast.

More wet weather is looming tonight with the possibility of a substantial rainfall event heading for the Queensland coast. Let’s bring in weather expert Gary Youngbury with the details. Gaz how much can we expect? Well Melissa, firstly it’s a possibility and a big one as well. Our computer models have an area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. It’s likely to deepen over the weekend off the coast. Now it could become an East Coast low. We all know how problematic they are with damaging winds and very heavy rainfall. Some of those models have the heaviest of the rain between Rocky Bundaberg and all the way down to the border, but it’ll be southern and central QLD. We’ll see very heavy rainfall if this East Coast low form, so still a high possibility at this stage. We will keep an eye on it. It’s just to be alert, not alarmed. It is certainly that time of the year when we can say goodbye to the possibility of cyclones we get, but we get these subtropical low pressure systems. So another 24 hours we’ll have a much better idea but. I’ll have your local forecast a little later, Melissa. See you then. Thanks, Gary.
