Thanks for following along, this is where we'll have to leave today's live coverage.

As a reminder, ABC Emergency will broadcast regular warnings on ABC Radio (you can find the full list pinned to the top of this page).

We'll be back tomorrow morning with the latest coverage.

But for now, you can catch up on everything you need to know about today's developments below 👇

Steven Turner from Palm Cove said even though streets are becoming “like a fast river” near his home, it's “pretty special” to see how people are treating each other during the disaster.

“There’s one house there, they’ve had the water go right through and you’ve got to really feel for these guys, you walk past their house, they’re out in their front garage having a sausage sizzle, inviting people in if they wanted a feed.

“And when you see that, you’ve got to think, these people are pretty special.”

Mr Turner said the people of Palm Cove are a “pretty tough breed”.

“You just help people out, it’s what good neighbours do.

“And I’ll tell you what, there’s neighbours there I don’t even know their names, but now you feel like you’re good mates.”

The Bureau of Meteorology says a coastal trough linked to ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper is expected to move more northward towards the Daintree and Mossman River catchments overnight.

It could result in heavy rainfall and locally intense falls.

In response to overnight rainfall quick river responses and rises are likely across the catchments. 

Flood levels above the 2014 event (10.50 m) are expected
to occur at Daintree Village overnight Sunday into Monday with forecast rainfall. 

Across the Mossman and Bloomfield River catchments, fast river rises are possible overnight from forecast rainfall.

Cairns Regional Council has advised that widespread flooding is happening now.

Conditions are changing quickly and may become dangerous. 

If your life is in danger, call Triple-Zero (000). 

Colin Bendall from Sunwater said the dams were only slightly spilling over and were being easily managed.

Speaking this afternoon, he said levels were just 50mm over the spillway – releasing about 2,000 megalitres a day – which was low compared to what it can handle.

“We are also conscious that any outflow from the dam is now going to add to the already swollen Barron River downstream,” he said.

He said its emergency plan was at level one – its lowest level – but could be raised to level three if the situation escalated.

“We’re not envisaging getting to that stage at this point based on the rainfall and our discussions with the Bureau of Meteorology.”

“But it is being closely monitored. “

Douglas Mayor Michael Kerr said it was “absolutely” time to call in the Australian Defence Force to support emergency services exhausted and overwhelmed by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.

He said floodwaters were now rushing down Mossman’s Front Street and lapping at the doors of the council chambers.

Areas north of Mossman, including Wonga, are without power and telecommunications, so authorities have little idea of how they have been affected by the flooding rains and rising waterways.

“We need to get resources here,” he said.

“Normal domestic flights obviously aren’t going to happen – Cairns Airport is closed.

“We need help, we need people on the ground. Everyone on the emergency side of it has been going since pre-Jasper – they’re absolutely exhausted.

“I’d certainly be pushing for it."

Adam Gwin from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services said crews would have done “up to 1,000 jobs” in the past 24 hours.

“I know that we certainly knocked out over 1,000 damage assessments in the last few days,” he said.

“Add into that the ongoing rescues – I’m talking from Mossman right down as far as Tully."

Cairns Mayor Terry James said he was having discussions about bringing the Australian Defence Force in to support the region.

“We’re talking with the premier’s department at the moment, so yes we are looking at all contingencies at the moment,” he told ABC Queensland Northern Drive.

The mayor said the State Emergency Service crews were now “absolutely overwhelmed”.

He said “hundreds of homes” likely had water through them, and those living downstream of Copperlode Falls Dam in the Redlynch area needed to be ready to move to higher ground.

“They should seek refuge with friends or family,” he said.

“The water is currently 2.5 metres over the spillway and rising, so we’re expecting localised flooding in properties in close proximity to Freshwater Creek.

“That’s the Brinsmead, Redlynch, Lower Freshwater and Kamerunga area.

“If you live near a waterway, you should consider whether you want to evacuate or move to higher ground.”
