It is likely to become a cyclone on Tuesday before possibly intensifying into a category two system, the BBC quoted Australia's Bureau of Meteorology as saying.
Small island and coastal communities have been warned to prepare for heavy rain, gale-force winds and storm tides.
"The centre of the system is likely to cross the western Tiwi Islands sometime later on Tuesday," a forecaster said.
If the weather system develops as predicted, it will be named cyclone Frances, the bureau said.
It comes after Cyclone Debbie made landfall as a category four system in Queensland two weeks ago, causing massive floods that killed at least six people.
