For people in parts of Simpson district.

Issued at 5:30 pm Sunday, 11 October 2026.

Severe thunderstorms continue about the western Simpson district.

Weather Situation: Northerly winds bring an influx of moisture to the central NT, which combined with instability to the east of a weak surface trough will promote the development of isolated severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Alice Springs.

Severe thunderstorms are no longer occurring in the Lasseter and Tanami districts and the warning for these districts is CANCELLED.

The Northern Territory Emergency Service advises that people should:
* secure loose outside objects
* ensure pets and animals are safe
* avoid remaining in the open when storms threaten
* pull over if it is raining heavily and you cannot see, park with your hazard lights on until the rain clears
* avoid driving into water of unknown depth and current
