Overview
Brisbanites, if you're currently reading this from somewhere dry, warm and cosy, we suggest that you keep it that way for the next few days. After a particularly rainy past 24 hours, the wet weather is set to stick around — indeed, more is well and truly in store for the rest of the weekend.
And not just any old wet weather either. Brisbane Times is reporting that a month of rain is expected to fall, and flood warnings have been issued around the state's southeast after up to 300 millimetres of rain poured down in the last day. Regions on alert for rising waters include the areas surrounding the Upper Dawson River, the Logan and Albert rivers, and the Mary River.
The rainy conditions aren't expected to ease completely until Thursday, making for quite the damp period. Alas, if you're keen to keep an eye on the big wet via the Bureau of Meteorology radar, it's currently down for maintenance, as spotted by the ABC.
