ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC:

FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN THE FLOOD WATCH AREA FROM SATURDAY

A trough lies across the base of the Top End. A tropical low south of the Gulf of Carpentaria may drift into the Top End during the weekend and deepen. This could bring widespread falls, some possibly heavy in parts of the Flood Watch area.

Catchments are moderately wet in the Flood Watch area.

River level rises, localised flooding, and overland inundation are possible in parts of the Flood Watch area, which may affect road access. Some communities may become isolated. Check road conditions before travelling.
