MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE AT TEWANTIN AND MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE AT PICNIC POINT SATURDAY EVENING AND SUNDAY MORNING ON THE HIGH TIDES
Further moderate to heavy rainfall has been recorded in the last 12 hours around the Sunshine Coast area, including the Noosa, Maroochy, Mooloolah River catchments and Coochin Creek catchment, which has caused further river and creek level rises across the catchments.
Showers and thunderstorms with possible heavy rainfall are forecast for the remainder of Saturday, which may keep river and creek levels elevated with higher levels possible.
The situation is being closely monitored and this warning will be updated as required.
Maroochy River:
Minor flooding may occur along the lower Maroochy River. Minor to moderate flooding in the upper catchment generally peaked and is easing.
The Maroochy River at Picnic Point is currently at 0.76 metres and steady, below the minor flood level (1.25 m).
The Maroochy River at Picnic Point may reach the minor flood level (1.25 m) on Saturday evening and Sunday morning on the high tides.
Noosa River:
Minor to moderate flooding may occur along the Noosa River around Tewantin on the high tides for the next few days.
The Noosa River at Tewantin is currently at 1.02 metres and steady, above the minor flood level (1.00 m).
The Noosa River at Tewantin is expected to fall below the minor flood level (1.00 m) late Saturday afternoon with the falling tide. The river level may rise to the moderate flood level (1.30 m) on the Saturday evening and Sunday morning on the high tides.
Mooloolah River:
Minor flooding is occurring along the Mooloolah River and Mountain Creek.
Coochin Creek:
Minor flooding is continuing along the Coochin Creek.

ENSO status: Weak La Niña-like conditions. IOD status: Neutral. SAM status: Neutral. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is in a weak La Niña-like pattern. The US declared a La Niña event this summer, but this event has not met the BoM definition, and will likely end in the coming weeks. A La Niña typically increases rainfall over northern and eastern Australia, while reducing rainfall over southern coastal Australia and western Tas. The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is in a neutral phase and does not play a part in Australia's climate during this time of year. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is in a neutral phase. Forecasts show a tendency towards the positive phase in autumn, with the long-wave pattern indicating that cold fronts are a bit less likely for Australia's longitudes over the next few months. During autumn, a positive SAM increases rainfall over most of eastern Australia, and decreases rainfall for SA, Vic and western Tas. Rainfall outlooks are showing above average rainfall across much of northern Australia in April due to lingering monsoon activity. Above average rainfall is expected for the NSW coast through autumn, with wetter conditions also developing over western WA from late autumn. SA, Vic and Tas are expected to be average to slightly below average, with average conditions elsewhere.
