FLOODING OCCURRING IN PARTS OF FLOOD WATCH AREA
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.

NO FURTHER FLOODING EXPECTED IN THE FLOOD WATCH AREA
A ridge of high pressure has moved into the southwestern parts of the Territory which will persist over southern parts and will maintain mostly dry conditions for the remainder of the week. Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle will move into the Gulf of Carpentaria late this week.
A separate flood watch will be issued for parts of the Top End for possible flooding associated with Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle.
Catchments in the Flood Watch area are wet from recent rainfall.
No further significant forecast rainfall is expected across the flood watch area.
