Southern and South Coastal district, including Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton and
Albany.
Issued at 6:50 am on Sunday 15 June 2008

The passage of a cold front across the region this morning will cause squally
conditions and may produce locally destructive winds in excess of 125 kilometres
per hour that could result in significant damage or destruction of property.

A gust of 94 km/hr was reported at Cape Leeuwin around 5am this morning.

The FESA-State Emergency Service advises that people should secure loose objects
and stay indoors when strong winds develop. Boat owners should ensure that small
craft are securely moored. Driving conditions may be hazardous.

Well some rain finally on the way tomorrow night and more to come on friday

1mm for perth from the front

and 6 mm in jandakot.

more showers predicted for the next few days

looks like some more rain on the way..WA welcomes widespread rain
Tom Saunders, Thursday June 26, 2008 - 19:25 EST
After a dry start to winter much of western and southern WA can expect widespread rain over the next few days.

Cloud thickened over the west coast during Thursday as a trough deepened off the coast with light rain falling north of Perth by 5pm, including 5mm at Morawa, already their heaviest fall in 2 months. The rain will increase overnight and spread further inland as the trough draws moist tropical air south from the Indian Ocean.

The heaviest falls on Friday should be between about Geraldton and Shark Bay where upwards of 25mm is likely, but light patchy falls should stretch south to Albany and west to the Eucla coast.

A front will maintain rain across the west and south of the state through Saturday, lifting totals by Sunday to at least 20mm from Albany to Exmouth.

Rain will be lighter inland but much of the Central Wheat Belt and Great Southern should receive at least 10mm.

here comes some more rain an a little action with it mabe...Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology

Roleystone storm damage. - ABC
A storm has damaged a number of houses across the Perth metropolitan area.

The south eastern suburb of Roleystone has been one of the worst affected areas, with a home reportedly losing its roof.

A car has also been damaged by an uprooted tree, and many more trees have fallen.

Alan Gale from the Fire and Emergency Services Authority says FESA officials and volunteers have arrived in Roleystone to assess the damage.

"Several reports there of roof damage, also water entering through roofs rights throughout the metropolitan area," he said.
