Severe Weather Warning Cancelled for North East and Northern Country Districts of Victoria

Alert Details

The Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has issued a cancellation for the Severe Weather Warning (IDV21037) previously in effect for the North East and Northern Country forecast districts.

Affected Areas

The cancellation of this warning applies to the following geographic regions in Victoria:

• Northern Country Forecast District
• North East Forecast District

What You Should Do

Although the severe weather warning has been cancelled, the State Emergency Service (SES) advises residents to remain vigilant and follow these safety protocols:

• Stay away from fallen powerlines and always assume they are live.
• Stay safe by avoiding dangerous hazards, such as floodwater, mud, debris, damaged roads, and fallen trees.
• Do not walk, ride your bike, or drive through floodwater.

Expected Conditions

Heavy rainfall over the far northeast of the state has eased. The weather situation was driven by a low-pressure system over southern New South Wales, which has since contracted further north into New South Wales. While the severe weather warning is no longer in effect, Flood Watches and/or Warnings remain current for the region at this time.

Timeline

The cancellation was issued at 10:55 pm Monday, 2 March 2026. The Bureau of Meteorology has stated that no further warnings will be issued for this specific weather event.
