The Category One system made landfall southwest of Daly River Mouth and is expected to track southwards across the southern Daly District inland from the coast and weaken below cyclone strength by midday.
The Bureau of Meteorology says heavy rainfall is expected and gales with gusts up to 100 kiliometers per hour will be felt.
