Seven and Castle creeks on flood watch

Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to hit the northern part of Victoria, due to a low pressure trough and cold front that will track eastwards on Wednesday.

During this time, widespread rainfall totals of 30mm to 40mm are expected in the flood watch area, with isolated heavier falls of 70mm to 100mm possible with thunderstorms and in areas with higher terrain.

River level rises are likely in catchments within the flood watch area where minor flooding can develop overnight and isolated moderate flooding is also possible in areas with the heaviest rainfall.

Currently, catchments across central and north-eastern Victoria are average to wet.

Other catchments likely to be affected include the Upper Murray and Mitta Mitta rivers, Kiewa River and Ovens and King rivers.
