Parts of a remote Northern Territory community are expected to be flooded on Wednesday morning when the Daly River peaks.

Fourteen people have already been evacuated from the community of Nauiyu, 300 kilometres south-west of Darwin.

Emergency Services expects the river to peak at 13.7 metres at 10am tomorrow.

Commander Dave Proctor says the community's oval, some access roads and one or two houses may be inundated.

"River heights continue to rise and counter disaster planning is well underway," he said.

Liz Bott, who manages the community's arts centre, says everyone is calm.

"We haven't had any rain today and we're justing hoping there is no further rain up in the catchment," she said.

The weather bureau is forecasting isolated showers and storms for the district tonight.

But the floods are not expected to be as bad as those that devastated the community six weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Emergency Services says the Katherine River is receding.

The owner of a tavern on the Arnhem highway near the Adelaide River crossing says people should avoid trying cross the river.

Peter Shappert says there was about 600 millimetres of water over the highway this morning.

Earlier this year the road flooded and the pub doubled as a school for stranded students.

Mr Shappert says he does not think that will have to happen this time.

"It's been pretty wet here," he said.

"Most people out this way are pretty over it.

"We just want the dry here so we can do stuff.

"We're just lucky that this week it is school holidays, so hopefully by the time the new week starts the roads will all be back open for them."
