Ex-Tropical Cyclone Dianne has dissipated over the Northern Territory and a drier southeasterly flow is developing over the flood watch area.

Catchments in the Flood Watch area are gradually wetting up with recent rainfall.

Rain and thunderstorms are slowly easing across the Flood Watch area. No widespread heavy falls are expected for the next few days.

Localised flooding and disruption to transport routes across parts of the Flood Watch area may persist over the next few days, however further significant river and creek level rises are not expected.

Check road conditions before travelling.
