Northern Territory residents have been warned to expect days of wild weather as Tropical Cyclone Megan moves towards the coast. The warning zone for the category two system stretches hundreds of kilometres from Alyangula in the Northern Territory’s northeast down the coast to the border with Queensland. It’s expected to become a category three system by Sunday night before it reaches the coast on Monday morning.
“We could see trees and tree limbs downed by these winds, leading to debris on the roads and potentially disrupted transport routes,” Bradbury said. She warned communities outside the tropical cyclone warning zone could still feel the impacts of wind and rain, with a severe weather warning for heavy rainfall issued in the East Arnhem district. “Twenty-four-hour rainfall totals could exceed 200 millimetres, which can lead to flash flooding,” Bradbury said.
