Northern Territory Tropical Cyclone
Tropical Low
A tropical low in the southern Gulf (currently over land) is expected to continue moving west. The low is expected to move back over water during Sunday and may develop into a tropical cyclone. It is possible that the system may reach category 2 intensity if it remains over water.
GALES are not expected in coastal areas within the next 24 hours, however gales could develop about coastal and island communities between Burketown (Qld) and Port McArthur (NT), including Mornington Island on Sunday. If the low takes a more northerly track over the Gulf of Carpentaria before recurving to the southeast, GALES could also develop over Groote Eylandt on Sunday.
Heavy rain, which may lead to flash flooding, is possible in areas about the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast, islands and adjacent inland areas this weekend and may also extend to Groote Eylandt.
Abnormally high tides are likely.
