Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor was located inland over the Carpentaria District east of Cape Crawford. The very destructive core is expected to weaken further as it moves into the Barkly District overnight. The system is expected to weaken below cyclone strength during Sunday morning west of Brunette Downs.
Hazards:
The VERY DESTRUCTIVE core of Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor is moving inland over the Carpentaria District between Borroloola and the NT/Qld border. Gusts to 165 km/h near the cyclone centre, gradually easing as the cyclone moves further inland.
DESTRUCTIVE winds, with gusts to 130 km/hr are occurring within 60 kilometres of the cyclone centre and will extend inland to the Cape Crawford area this evening.
Coastal residents between Port McArthur and the NT/Qld Border are specifically warned of a VERY DANGEROUS STORM TIDE as the cyclone moves inland. Tides will remain significantly above the normal high tide this evening and Sunday morning, with DAMAGING WAVES and VERY DANGEROUS FLOODING continuing overnight.
As the cyclone moves inland, a STORM TIDE is also expected between the NT/QLD border and Burketown. Large waves may produce minor flooding along the foreshore. People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should take measures to protect their property as much as possible and be prepared to help their neighbours.
GALES, with gusts to 100 km/h are occurring on the mainland coast between Nathan River in the Northern Territory and Mornington Island in Queensland and inland over the Carpentaria District.

HEAVY RAINFALL is likely to cause significant stream rises and localised flooding in the eastern Carpentaria District tonight and tomorrow. A Flood Watch has been issued for Carpentaria Coastal Rivers and the Barkly in the Northern Territory.
HEAVY RAINFALL will also develop over the western Gulf Country in Queensland as the cyclone moves inland. Flood Warnings are current in Queensland for the Daintree and Mossman Rivers, as well as a broader Flood Watch for catchments north of Cairns to Kowanyama, the western Gulf Country, and the Channel Country.
