Warning Summary
A Fire Weather Warning is current for the eastern Darwin-Daly District.

Current Weather Summary and Future Developments:
A strong high in the Tasman Sea extends a strengthening ridge along the
Queensland coast and is directing an east to northeast flow across much of the
Territory. A weak trough near Tennant Creek is moving to the southwest and a
more humid northeast flow will extend in its wake across much of the Territory
with isolated showers and storms developing in most parts, before contracting to
the west by Tuesday. Another trough over the interior of WA approaches the Alice
Springs District later today but stalls along the western border. An increase in
showers and storms over the western Top End as the Queensland ridge weakens and
a more humid flow develops.

Forecast for Sunday:
Alice Springs District...
Isolated afternoon showers except in the far southwest. Moderate east to
northeast winds, gusty at times during the morning in the western half.

North of the Alice Springs District...
Isolated afternoon showers and one or two gusty storms about the western Top
End, the Victoria River and Barkly Districts and in the Gulf Country. Fine
elsewhere though the odd shower about remaining coasts. Hot inland. Moderate
east to northeast winds, fresh at times during the day.

Fire Danger: High to Very High throughout.

Forecast for Monday:
Isolated afternoon showers and storms about the western Top End, Gulf Country
and along the western borders of the Territory. Fine elsewhere, though afternoon
showers about the north and east coasts. Moderate east to northeast winds.

Isolated afternoon showers and storms about the western Top End, Gulf Country
and along the western borders of the Territory. Fine elsewhere though afternoon
