DAMAGING TO DESTRUCTIVE WINDS REMAIN LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTH WEST LAND DIVISION INTO MONDAY MORNING.
Weather Situation: A deep and intense low pressure system is moving east along the southern coast tonight, bringing a significant burst of damaging to destructive winds to western and southern parts of the South West Land Division. As the low moves east during the morning, the risk of damaging winds is expected to shift towards southeastern WA, before easing overnight Monday night.
WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WESTERLY WINDS averaging 60 to 70 km/h with gusts to 110 km/h are likely to continue over western parts of the South West Land Division into early Monday morning. DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS in excess of 125 km/h are still possible over an area southwest of a line from Lancelin to Albany, including Perth, into early Monday morning.
The risk of DAMAGING WINDS will shift from the west coast to inland parts of the South West Land Division, and to southern Goldfields, South East Coastal and Eucla districts during Monday, clearing from Perth and western districts before sunrise, then easing in the east on Monday night.
The WINDS associated with the low-pressure system through to Monday morning are expected to generate RARELY EXPERIENCED, WIDESPREAD and DAMAGING TO DESTRUCTIVE CONDITIONS across southwest WA.
A separate warning for DAMAGING SURF and ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES is also current for parts of the coast. For more details, refer to https://www.bom.gov.au/weather-and-climate/warnings-and-alerts
