ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC:
A trough of low pressure moved out of southern Northern Territory on Wednesday morning, reducing the risk of heavy rainfall. A ridge of high pressure is developing, which will maintain mostly dry conditions across the Territories southern and eastern regions over the next few days.
Catchments in the Flood Watch area are wet from recent rainfall. Forecast rainfall may cause further significant water level rises in rivers and creeks, as well as prolonged overland flooding and ponding.
Roads may become impassable. Some communities and homesteads may become isolated. Check road conditions before travelling.
Catchments likely to be affected include:
Finke River and Stephenson Creek
MacDonnell Ranges
Simpson Desert
Flooding is no longer expected in the following catchment(s): Sturt Crk District, Western Desert, Central Desert and Tanami Desert.
