Weather warning area tightens and moves south
The Bureau of Meteorology's updated heavy weather warning has shifted south and carries with it predictions of heavier onshore rain this afternoon.
It now extends from south of Townsville to Hamilton Island and has constricted eastwards from Charters Towers and Collinsville.
The remnants of ex-tropical cyclone Imogen and a coastal trough are triggering widespread rain areas, heavy showers and thunderstorms.
The BOM says heavy rainfall which may lead to flash flooding is possible with six hourly totals between 130mm to 180mm.
The heaviest rainfall is currently occurring just offshore, and is expected to come onshore in the warning. . .
