Issued: 2pm CST Thursday 4 August 2022
A fancy low stress system will convey heavy rainfall to South Australia on Thursday afternoon and into Friday, with a flood watch issued for catchments within the Mount Lofty Ranges.
A extreme climate warning is present for damaging winds and heavy rainfall for areas to the south of Ceduna to Hawker to Mount Gambier, easing from the west in a single day.
Widespread rainfall totals of 50-80 mm are doubtless and localised totals of as much as 100 mm are doable over the Mount Lofty Ranges.
Flooding in Fleurieu Peninsula, Torrens and Onkaparinga rivers and metropolitan rivers and creeks is feasible from late Thursday night.
Flooding in higher Onkaparinga and higher Torrens rivers might result in street closures.
The Bureau is monitoring the state of affairs carefully and can replace its forecasts and warnings often.
Communities are suggested to remain updated with the most recent forecasts and warnings through the Bureau’s web site and BOM climate app and observe the recommendation of emergency companies.
