Tropical Cyclone Megan is affecting the Northern Territory coast as a category three system with concerns it could intensify, bringing 200km/h winds and hundreds of millimetres of rainfall. The weather system intensified to a category three on Sunday with the Bureau of Meteorology warning there was a 20 per cent chance of it developing into a category four by Monday night.
Gamble said the cyclone would likely remain a category three when it made landfall on Monday night but could intensify if it slowed down before then. Possible rainfall totals of between 150 and 200mm and wind gusts of up to 110km/h were forecast in the other hundreds of kilometres of warning zone and dozens of towns. Flood watches are in place for the Carpentaria to Arnhem and Barkly. The bureau said the flood warnings could expand as the cyclone hits the coast.
