FLOODING OCCURRING IN PARTS OF FLOOD WATCH AREA WITH FURTHER FLOODING POSSIBLE A trough of low pressure is located over southern Northern Territory, assisted by an inflow of humid tropical air will combine to generate widespread moderate to heavy rainfall to Central, Western and Eastern Inland areas 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.
