“A trough across the Gregory and northern Barkly Districts is expected to deepen into a monsoon trough from about Wednesday and persist for much of the week,” the warning read.
Multiple roads are likely to be affected by flooding, with catchments already wet from recent rain.
And an initial flood watch warning has been issued for parts of north-west Queensland, due to the same trough.

“Riverine flooding is possible from Wednesday with road closures and community isolation likely,” the warning read.
The Bureau said flooding in the state’s south-west was not expected imminently but could be possible in the coming weeks as the extra water made its way downriver.
