The monsoon has kicked in over the tropics and embedded within it is a tropical low southwest of Darwin. It’s expected to develop into our second tropical cyclone of the season and if it does, guess what its name will be? Magda!
In any case, monsoonal showers, storms and rain will continue to deliver massive falls the Top End and Roper- McArthur districts. Over the next 4 days over 200mm is expected which will most likely lead to flooding.
At this stage, the low is predicted to move in a southerly direction to cross the coast near the NT/WA border as a category one tropical cyclone by tomorrow evening. Coastal areas from Kalumburu to Point Stuart and Cape Don to Cape Fourcroy are on Cyclone Watch.
