Tasmania SES is reminding the community to be prepared with potentially heavy rainfall and thunderstorms forecast this weekend.
“With a significant low pressure weather system forecast to reach Tasmania tomorrow, it’s timely for everyone to be prepared and keep informed of changing conditions,” said SES Assistant Director Leon Smith.
“Starting tomorrow, and into Sunday, a weather system will cross our state, with the potential for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
“At this stage, highest rainfall totals are expected about the south and east where it is expected that the rain will be more persistent.”
“With thunderstorm activity comes the potential for flash flooding in localised areas, high rainfall values have the potential for minor to moderate riverine flooding from Sunday into early next week within catchments in south east, north east and east coast.”
“塔斯马尼亚州紧急事务管理局正在为天气做准备，我们也鼓励社区为此做好准备。”

* Supervise children closely.
* Check that family and neighbours are aware of warnings.
* Manage pets and livestock.
