Weather Situation – Northern Western Australia
A broad trough lies over northern WA and extends to the Pilbara coast, with a
ridge persisting over the central districts. The ridge is expected to weaken
from Thursday, allowing the trough over the Kimberley to move south to inland
Pilbara and North Interior.

Weather Situation – Southern and Central Western Australia
A ridge extends over southern WA throughout the week as a west coast trough
begins to form. A low will develop within the trough over the Gascoyne later in
the week and slowly drift east. Meanwhile, a cold front will brush the south
coast later Thursday, and this will be followed by a strengthening ridge over
southern districts on Friday into Saturday.
