The system is likely to head South from there but still waiting for consistent alignment over the next day. Tomorrow the rain should pick up over the top end of NT and the next day into the Gulf.

Western parts of the state have a weak trough causing unsettled conditions. Eastern and southern parts have a high-pressure ridge bringing showers to the east coast. A weak trough in the Peninsula and Gulf of Carpentaria may become the monsoon trough. A tropical low located in the western Top End may move east into the Gulf of Carpentaria. This will increase rainfall in Far North Queensland starting from Thursday.
