Ex-tropical cyclone Olga is expected to reform by tomorrow after it moves over the Gulf of Carpenteria today, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
The system is about 55 kilometres west of Borroloola and 245 kilometres south-south-west of Alyangula.
A cyclone warning is current for coastal and island communities from Cape Shield to Gilbert River Mouth in Queensland, including Groote Eylandt and Mornington Island.
A cyclone watch continues for coastal and island communities from Gilbert River Mouth to Pormpuraaw.
Forecaster Ashley Patterson says the cyclone has remained almost stationary overnight but is expected to move slowly offshore today.
"It is expected to move towards [the] Queensland coast during today and may just get over water late today and overnight and be over water just long enough to reform into a cyclone again."
