Roper and Gilbert River Mouth, including Mornington Island, late today or early
Saturday. Should the track be more northeastward than expected, GALES may extend
as far north as Pormpuraaw during Saturday.

DESTRUCTIVE WINDS with gusts to 130 kilometres per hour may develop between
Mornington Island and Gilbert River Mouth on Saturday morning.

HEAVY RAIN may lead to significant stream rises and flooding of low-lying areas
in the Roper-McArthur and Arnhem Districts in the Northern Territory and Gulf
Country in Queensland.

ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES could cause SERIOUS FLOODING at the Northern Territory
coast and adjacent islands between Port McArthur and the Queensland Border this
evening.

ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES are occurring along the Queensland Gulf of Carpentaria
coast and adjacent islands and are expected to exceed the high water mark at
high tide over the next few days.

People between Gilbert River Mouth in Queensland and Cape Shield in the Northern
Territory, including Groote Eylandt and Mornington Island, should take
precautions and listen to the next advice at 2 pm CST [2:30 pm EST]. If you are
unsure about precautions to be taken, information is available from your local
