MINOR FLOODING LIKELY AT DAGUN POCKET OVERNIGHT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AND GYMPIE TUESDAY MORNING
Moderate to heavy rainfall associated with Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred has been recorded across the Mary River catchment since Sunday morning.

Further moderate to locally heavy rainfall is possible for parts of the catchment during much of Monday.
The situation is being monitored closely, and this flood warning will be updated as required.
