SCATTERED showers are predicted for the next three days on the Southern Downs but that won't stop the Condamine River dropping from a peak yesterday of 4.76m

The river peaked at 8am which closed four of the town's six bridges.

Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Peter Blundell said a number of personnel from the Warwick State Emergency Service (SES) doorknocked a small number of residences in low-lying areas of Warwick yesterday morning to provide preliminary advice about the expected flood peak and to enable residents to take any precautions necessary.

With the river peaking at Murray's Bridge at 6.15m early yesterday, the flood prediction of 5m in Warwick was not quite reached.

On Saturday, the river was just over the Wallace St bridge at 4pm, just under at 9pm and then over during the night and yesterday.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Chris Joseph said he expected no more flooding in Warwick from the current rain situation.

"There will be scattered showers until Wednesday then the showers will ease a bit," he said.

Cr Blundell warned residents yesterday morning to "remain watchful, but calm".

He said: "Council's disaster management co-ordinator, together with the local disaster management group (LDMG) and BoM were continuing to monitor the weather situation and river levels and would take action should there be any changes in the current outlook".

While the Condamine River was well down on the January flood level, there was more water in a gully which starts in Rosenthal Heights and flows under and over a causeway on the road to Leslie Dam.

Rosenthal Heights resident John McMahon said he had 90mm for the weekend.

"There was 60cm water across Kurrajong Rd in the gully," he said.

"It was impassable for more than a day. There are still problems in the area, especially at a crossing in Schoch Rd where the road was damaged on the Australia Day long weekend."

While he said the seasonal conditions were the best for two years, he admitted the wet made it difficult for him as a racehorse trainer.

"I can't work my horses at the racecourse due to damage in January and can't work them at home because it is too wet," he said.

"After heavy rain, I can't train at home for a week.

"I have been going to Toowoomba a bit, leaving Warwick at 2.30am to be home in time for work," he said.
