Destructive winds possible for western WA (including Perth)
Yoska Hernandez, Saturday June 1, 2024 - 16:38 AEST
This weekend, western WA is bracing for severe storms with heavy rain and potentially destructive winds expected as a significant trough and cold front sweep through the region from late Saturday to Sunday morning.
As Saturday progresses, the skies will darken and the winds will intensify, heralding the arrival of this powerful weather system. Damaging winds exceeding 90 km/h are expected to lash far southwest WA from Saturday afternoon onwards, with the rest of the western areas, including Perth, likely to bear the brunt of the onslaught overnight.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant as locally destructive winds exceeding 125 km/h with scattered thunderstorms pose a serious threat late into the night and into Sunday morning, with the potential to cause severe damage to homes and property.
Additionally, six-hourly rainfall totals between 40 and 90 mm are possible overnight Saturday, setting the stage for potential flash flooding. By Sunday morning, the accumulated rainfall could reach significant amounts, ranging from 60 to 100mm+, particularly with thunderstorms.
Given the significance of the impending weather, it's crucial for residents to take precautions, stay informed, and heed the warnings issued by the Bureau of Meteorology. You can check the latest updates and warnings here.
