Cyclone Yasi will come Get ready for more rain

The Sunshine Coast is likely to receive more rain this week following ex-Tropical Cyclone Anthony's land-fall near Townsville.

Rain and windy conditions from the ex-cyclone, now downgraded to a low pressure system, are likely to affect the Coast from tomorrow or Wednesday.

The Bureau of Meteorology, as at Monday morning, has forecast wet and windy conditions from then and through the weekend.

Cyclone Yasi is currently located near Vanuatu and forecast to move west into the Coral Sea tomorrow. At this stage it will possibly bring more rain to the Coast, however computer modelling of its movements suggests it is not expected to encroach directly upon South East Queensland.

The Sunshine Coast has not been issued with any severe weather warnings, but given the amount of rain already experienced in our region flooding may be possible, and Sunshine Coast Council is on standby to re-activate its Disaster Management Team should it be necessary.
