Tropical Cyclone Fina remains a category 2 system and is slow moving. It is now expected to turn to the south today then southwest towards the northern coast of the Top End. It should approach the Cobourg Peninsula and Tiwi Islands on Friday, impacting areas over the northwest coast of the Top End of the Northern Territory. Fina is forecast to maintain category 2 intensity in coming days but an increase to category 3 at some point can't be ruled out as it nears land.
