Warning Signal before broadcasting the following warning.
TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 30
Issued at 4:18 pm ACST on Saturday 21 March 2026
Headline:
Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle beginning to impact the eastern Top End.
Areas Affected:
Warning zone: Nhulunbuy to Nathan River, including Numbulwar, Alyangula, and
Gapuwiyak. Extending west to include Ramingining, Bulman, and Ngukurr.
Watch zone: King George River Mouth to the WA/NT Border.
Cancelled zone: Port McArthur, including Borroloola.
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle 34U at 3:30 pm ACST:
Intensity: Category 3, sustained winds near the centre of 120 kilometres per
hour with wind gusts to 165 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 35 kilometres of 13.0 degrees South 137.8 degrees East,
estimated to be 140 kilometres southeast of Nhulunbuy and 175 kilometres east
northeast of Alyangula.
Movement: west at 21 kilometres per hour.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle is over the warm waters of the Gulf of
Carpentaria. Narelle is beginning to impact the eastern Top End coast.
Narelle is forecast to cross the eastern Top End coast overnight tonight or
early Sunday morning, most likely between Birany Birany and Numbulwar. Narelle
will then weaken as it moves inland across the Top End on Sunday and Monday.
During Monday, a weakened Narelle is expected to move over the Joseph Bonaparte
Gulf and gales are forecast to redevelop to the north of the centre. There is a
Moderate chance that Narelle redevelops into a tropical cyclone while in the
Joseph Bonaparte Gulf.
Hazards:
VERY DESTRUCTIVE WINDS with gusts to 185 km/h are forecast to develop in
coastal areas between about Birany Birany and Numbulwar, including Groote
Eylandt, this evening and overnight into Sunday as Narelle approaches from the
east.
DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS to 160 km/h are forecast to develop between Birany
Birany and Numbulwar, including Groote Eylandt from late afternoon, and
possibly extending to be between Nhulunbuy to Nathan River overnight tonight or
Sunday morning depending on the movement of Narelle.
GALES with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 120 km/h developing in coastal and adjacent
inland areas between Gapuwiyak and Nathan River, including Nhulunbuy, and are
forecast to continue overnight into Sunday. These GALES may extend west to
Ramingining, Bulman, and Ngukurr on Sunday.
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is developing about coastal and
adjacent inland areas over the eastern Top End between Nhulunbuy and Nathan
River, and is forecast to extend further inland during Sunday. LOCALLY INTENSE
RAINFALL leading to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is likely
over the eastern Top End between Birany Birany and Numbulwar, including Groote
Eylandt, during this afternoon and evening
Tides will be higher than normal between Nhulunbuy and Nathan River today and
Sunday. LARGE WAVES may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas. A
potentially DANGEROUS STORM TIDE between Cape Shield and Port Roper is possible
as the cyclone centre crosses the coast with DAMAGING WAVES and DANGEROUS
FLOODING.
Western Australia:
GALES with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 90 km/h] are possible between King George
River Mouth and the WA/NT border.
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is possible for the north
Kimberley during Monday.
Recommended Action:

- REMARKS:
- Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle is starting to approach the eastern Northern
- Territory.
- The broad centre of Narelle is now evident on the Gove radar, and in addition
- to visible satellite imagery has been used to locate Narelle's centre with good
- confidence. The centre is broad, and this broad centre was also seen in SAR
- imagery from this morning at 2015 UTC 20 March. In spite of the presence of
- vertical wind shear (CIMSS assessed 19 kn ESE at 0000 UTC), in recent hours
- Narelle has shown improved curvature.
- Dvorak analysis: a curved bant pattern with a wrap of 0.8-1.0 yields a DT of
- 3.5. No MET or PT as not yet over water for long enough. FT/CI = 3.5. Objective
- aids at 0530 UTC (1-min means): ADT 59 kn, AiDT 65 kn, DPRINT 52 kn, DMINT
- (0411 UTC) 58 kn, MW sounders (0410 UTC) 74 kn, and SATCON 72 kn. Current
- intensity is set at 65 kn, based on objective aids, and influenced by earlier
- SAR at 2015 UTC and Gove Dopplar Radar (adjusted to account for scan
- elevation), these are both in line with a 65 kn system.
- Narelle has begun to impact the eastern Northern Territory coast and the
- environment remains generally favourable due to warm SSTs, high moisture, and
- moderate wind shear, until increased land interactions lead to weakening. A
- small amount of intensification is forecast in the next 6 hours, prior to
- landfall on the eastern Northern Territory coast tonight or early Sunday
- morning.
- A strong mid-level ridge extending across Australia into the Coral Sea will
- remain the dominant steering mechanism for Narelle well into next week. There
- is high confidence in a westward forecast track across northern Australia.
- Following landfall over the Northern Territory overnight tonight, Narelle will
- then move across the Top End and off the Kimberley coast next week, where
- redevelopment into a tropical cyclone is again likely.
