The Northern Territory's Top End has received a soaking over the past few days, and is likely to pick up much more. After lingering north of the Australian tropics for much of the wet season, the monsoon trough has finally returned, bringing with it heavy showers and storms. Over the past three days, some parts of the Top End have seen their heaviest rain all wet season. There have been widespread totals over 100mm, with falls in excess of 150mm in Arnhem Land. Locations such as Gove, North East Island and Groote Eylandt have also all seen their heaviest three day totals since 2011. The Top End looks likely to receive further heavy rainfall as the monsoon trough deepens and a low develops. This low is expected to move southwest towards the western Top End over the next few days, with Darwin and surrounds likely to pick up heavier totals than they have seen across the last few days. For those closest to the low, winds are likely to become fresh to strong and gusty, with rainfall totals in excess of 200mm possible. While the low is expected to move west away from the Top End and decay by the weekend, the monsoon trough is likely to linger over the region, continuing to generate showers and storms into next week. The low is currently regarded only a low risk of becoming a tropical cyclone.
