The Northern Territory can expect more torrential rain as ex-tropical cyclone Grant prepares for a comeback.
Emergency services are expecting to remain on high alert for at least the next 24 hours.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the storm centre was about 250km southeast of Darwin yesterday and moving southeast.
It was expected to turn east today and move toward the Gulf of Carpentaria.
The bureau said Grant could make a comeback as a tropical cyclone as it passed over the gulf tomorrow.
The Territory Controller advises communities under watch to put together their emergency kit, clear yards and balconies, and begin home shelter preparations.
