After a tough weekend battling the wet, residents across Victoria can expect rain and flooding to continue through this week.
This morning, 25 rivers across the state remain under a flood warning with peaks likely over the next 24 hours in Horsham, Shepparton and Yarrawonga.
The main area of flooding will head further downstream on Wednesday with the Murray River towns of Corowa and Tocumwal expected to see flooding on Thursday. The towns of Deniliquin, Echuca and Barham are expected to be affected next week.
The inland Australia situation remains very active with another two northwest cloud-bands expected to track across Australia over the next week, keeping the inland rains moving.
Further cloud will begin streaming down from northern parts of Western Australia today, and then link with a trough and cold frontal activity passing to the south on Wednesday and Thursday.
The result will be a spreading mass of rain and thunderstorms extending across Western Australia and South Australia Today and Wednesday, before reaching NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and southern Queensland on Thursday and Friday.
4 day totals of 10 to 15 mm are expected across northern parts of South Australia and southern Queensland, with lighter totals elsewhere.
Another northwest cloud-band will begin forming soon after and extend across the continent in much the same way, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. A strong cold front is also likely to impact the southeast on Monday.
The resulting 8 day totals are again impressive with a band of significant falls (in excess of 25 mm) extending from central eastern parts of Western Australia through to north-eastern NSW. A large area of 25 to 50 mm rain is indicated over southern parts of the Northern Territory and northern areas South Australia.
Further 8 day totals of 15 to 25 mm are indicated for much of central and north-eastern Victoria and this my cause renewed river rises over the already saturated catchments across the area.
