“We fully expect to see more rain over the pastoral areas over the weekend and into early next week,” he said.
“All these catchments are fully charged so when we get even smaller storm cells, what falls goes into the creeks and streams as overflow.
“So certainly the risk outlook (for flooding) remains. Any significant rain in those catchments will see flooding in those areas again.”
Country Fire Service chief Mark Jones said South Australia was experiencing a “crazy” summer.
“It’s not a normal summer at all. At one end of the state we’ve had bushfires burning while we’ve had floods at the other end of the state,” he said.
“It’s a very untraditional summer we’re enduring. We’re preparing for all emergencies.”
