A tropical low off the west Kimberley coast is forecast to move over the interior and Western Australia during the weekend and lead to an increase in thunderstorms and rain in southwestern parts of the NT from Sunday.
Catchments in the Flood Watch area are generally dry.
Moderate to heavy falls are possible in the Flood Watch area from Sunday evening. Widespread rainfall totals of 15-30 mm on Sunday, 30-60 mm on Monday and 10-40 mm on Tuesday are forecast with isolated daily falls in excess of 100 mm possible during Monday.
Significant river, creek, and stream level rises are likely with heavy rainfall, as well as overland inundation with areas of localised flooding possible across the Flood Watch area.
Many roads, including secondary highways may be affected. Some communities and homesteads may become isolated. Check road conditions before travelling.
