Forecast issued at 4:30 pm CST on Thursday 22 August 2019.
Weather Situation
Dry and windy conditions across the north of the Territory will ease from Friday as a high pressure system over South Australia moves east and weakens. It will become warmer in the south as winds tend northerly ahead of a trough that moves across southern districts on Saturday. On Sunday, a high pressure system will move into the Great Australia Bight and extend a ridge into central Australia. This ridge will direct a surge of southeasterly winds northwards and reach the Top End by the middle of next week.
Forecast for the rest of Thursday
Clear skies. Moderate east to southeast winds, easing during the evening.
Friday 23 August
Sunny, apart from the chance of morning fog about the eastern Top End. Areas of morning frost in the Simpson District. Moderate east to southeast winds, tending northeast to northwest south of Barrow Creek.
