Locally INTENSE RAINFALL which may lead to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is possible with slow-moving lines of thunderstorms this morning. Six-hour rainfall totals of around 110 mm are possible.
These conditions also threaten cattle and other livestock.
Conditions are expected to ease across the southeast Northern Territory during Saturday evening, although more isolated thunderstorm activity with locally heavy falls may persist.
Locations which may be affected include Jervois, Kulgera, Finke, Ampilatwatja and Simpson District east of Finke.
