The Bureau of Meteorology recorded 2.2mm overnight at Tindal although town gauges recorded about 12mm from the thunderstorm overnight.
A minor flood warning is still in place for Katherine River Gorge Road.
The river level is falling sharply at Nitmiluk.
The bureau is forecasting more rain for Katherine for the rest of the week although not the monsoonal totals that it did last week.
