The Bureau of Meteorology has issued an Initial Flood Watch for the North Tropical Coast.

They are forecasting that minor flooding is likely with isolated moderate flooding possible from overnight into Tuesday.

Catchments likely to be affected include Daintree River, Mossman River, Barron River, Murray River, Herbert River, Ross and Bohle Rivers and Black River.

If you live in these catchments please keep a close eye on the latest weather forecasts and warnings.

Our Queensland Fire and Rescue swiftwater firefighters are ready to respond if needed, but remember to never enter floodwater on foot or in your vehicle. It’s never worth the risk.
