Outback Queensland has experienced a year's worth of rain in just six days with the rain to continue to fall over the weekend.

An emergency alert was issued this morning for the region with swift water rescue crews airlifted in from Charleville to help evacuate residents and the Premier also arrived in Winton last night.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "There's predictions that the Thompson River will hit about eight and a half metres, that is uncharted territory."

David Crisafulli also confirmed that he will be looking into getting Western Queensland a rain radar saying the current situation is "unacceptable."
