Issued at 09:41 AM EST on Tuesday 05 July 2022

MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE AT COTTONS WEIR LATE TUESDAY

Rises are expected downstream of Cottons Weir. At Jemalong, the flood peak may pass below the minor flood level (7.20 metres) later this week. Once a peak is observed at Cottons Weir, revised predictions will be made for Jemalong. A prediction will be made for Condobolin once upstream peaks are observed.
Minor flooding continues along the Lachlan River at Booligal, where river levels are rising slowly.

The Lachlan River at Cottons Weir is expected to peak around the minor flood level (3.50 m) Tuesday afternoon.

Renewed river rises are likely at Booligal Weir, where river levels may reach 2.70 metres around mid July, with minor flooding.
Flood Safety Advice:
In life threatening emergencies, call 000 (triple zero) immediately. If you require rescue, assistance to evacuate or other emergency help, ring NSW SES on 132 500.
* Avoid drowning. Stay out of rising water, seek refuge in the highest available place.
