Former Tropical Cyclone Lincoln is tracking from the Gulf of Carpentaria across the central NT.
Ex-Cyclone Lincoln is drifting towards Western Australia but heavy rain could linger a little while longer over northwest Queensland and the Northern Territory.
The weather system is tracking from the Gulf of Carpentaria across the central NT, and will continue to deliver strong winds and heavy rain to already-soaked areas of the Top End.
Communities in Victoria River were told to prepare for wet weather going through the region late on Saturday.
Heavy rain is expected along the system’s path, with totals of about 100 millimetres and up to 180mm forecast.
A storm watch and act alert is in place for parts of Carpentaria, Barkly, Gregory and Tanami districts.
Damaging wind gusts, heavy rain and flash flooding are also possible for Tennant Creek, Elliott, Renner Springs, Mallapunyah, Barkly District west of Tennant Creek and Barkly District east of Tennant Creek.
A ridge over central Australia will weaken at the weekend, causing humidity over southern districts to increase, and bringing the chance of showers and thunderstorms.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the system was at moderate risk of becoming a cyclone again if it reached waters west of the Kimberley in WA.
After crossing the Gulf of Carpentaria’s southwest coast on Friday evening, the storm is expected to reach the Kimberley by Monday.
