South western WA awaits wild Winter weather

Wild Winter weather looks set to pummel south western WA over the coming days with gusts of 90km/h and thunderstorms with small hail also in the mix.

Locations at risk

After a relatively quiet period the weather is set to swing back into a much more tempestuous mood through the middle of week with much of the state’s far south western regions in the firing line.

Places from Perth to Albany including Bunbury and Manjimup will be all at risk to squally conditions over this period as a powerful cold front sweeps in from the west and a cold and very showery set up follows in it’s wake.

What is causing it

A large swath of cloud associated with a strong cold front is expected to push in across the far south western area later Tuesday.

While the associated deep low pressure system expected sweep bands of blustery showers across the region for Wednesday and again on Thursday, some of which are likely to be thundery in nature with small hail also possible.
Meanwhile gale force winds along the south coast combined with large swells will make for treacherous seas conditions here.

Outlook

The worst of the weather should ease through Thursday though another system is expected to approach the area once again on Friday, however at this stage it is not predicted to as intense as it’s predecessor.
