Issued at 7:47 pm Friday, 30 October 2020. Plan Image A trough of low pressure is combining with an upper-level disturbance to generate unsettled conditions across eastern and southern NSW. Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce large hailstones, damaging winds and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree, Orange, Yass, Parkes, Wagga Wagga, Albury, Deniliquin, Griffith and Hay. Severe thunderstorms are no longer occurring in the North West Slopes and Plains district and the warning for this district is CANCELLED. 14.2mm of rainfall recorded at Goonumbla in the 15 minutes to 3:35pm. 42mm of rainfall recorded at Tumbarumba in the 1 hour to 4:15pm. 48kt (89 km/h) gust at Armidale at 5:54pm. The State Emergency Service advises that people should: * Move your car under cover or away from trees. * Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony. * Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences. * Report fallen power lines to either Ausgrid (131 388), Endeavour Energy (131 003), Essential Energy (132 080) or Evoenergy (131 093) as shown on your power bill. * Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall. * Keep clear of creeks and storm drains. * Don't walk, ride your bike or drive through flood water. * If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue. * Be aware that run-off from rainfall in fire affected areas may behave differently and be more rapid.

08.01.2022 MINOR FLOOD BULLETIN # 1 Lachlan River at Gooloogong Issued: Monday 10th August 2020 at 5.30 pm What is happening?... Moderate rainfall has been recorded across parts of the Lachlan catchment in the past 72 hours. Cowra recorded a flood peak of 7.5 metres Monday morning. The flood peak is expected to arrive at Nanami early Tuesday morning. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted that the Lachlan River at Nanami (Gooloogong) is likely to reach the minor flood level (7.40 m) early Tuesday morning. Further rises are possible, with predictions for Forbes and downstream locations will be made once the peak at Nanami is observed. This will result in MINOR flooding along the Lachlan River, impacting low lying areas of the Lachlan River downstream of the Nanami Gauge. What we are expecting: Based on the prediction provided by the Bureau of Meteorology it is expected low lying areas may be impacted by floodwaters including local roads. What you need to do: People in areas likely to be impacted by flooding should: - Be alert to road impacts by flood waters - Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines and rivers. - Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in floodwaterit is dangerous and toxic. If it’s flooded, forget it. Farmers and businesses are encouraged to: - Move pumps, animals and equipment to higher ground before roads close and organise for sufficient stock feed and water for your animals. - Move poisons, waste and chemicals to high storage locations. - Gather important business documents and records and keep them with you.
