change is pushing the trough from the North Interior to the southeast Kimberley
this weekend, before sinking back south early next week.

Weather Situation – Southern and Central Western Australia
A firm ridge over southern WA is slowly moving east, allowing a trough and

west coast trough will make a quick return from Wednesday.
