ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC:
RIVER AND CREEK LEVEL RISES AND LOCALISED FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FLOOD WATCH AREA FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Dianne is near the Western Australia/Northern Territory border, and is forecast to weaken as it moves into the Northern Territory. This will lead to an increase in thunderstorms and rainfall across the Flood Watch area.
Catchments in the Flood Watch area are generally dry.
Moderate to heavy falls are likely within the Flood Watch. Widespread daily rainfall totals of between 15-35 mm are likely, with isolated daily falls in excess of 70 mm possible.
Significant river, creek, and stream level rises are likely with heavy rainfall, as well as overland inundation and areas of localised flooding 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.
Catchments likely to be affected include:
Tanami Desert
Central Desert
Western Desert
MacDonnell Ranges
