Severe Weather Warning-Upcoming Cold Front approaching Perth
Hi all;
As you may or may not be aware, Perth is in for real punishment, thanks to a Strong to Severe Cold front developing off Perth's coast. Currently situated approximatley 800kms West of our coast.
It's expected to bring heavy rain, squalls, severe thunderstorms and hail. I'll keep you posted. - I was at Jandakot Airport having a chat with a few people who have contacts in the Weather Buearu - and they say there are 2 systems, the first one, developing early morning tomorrow will bring showers, however the one behind it will pack a punch - currently pressure is 995hpa (and falling)
http://www.bom.gov.au/defence/forecasts ... ptic.shtml
No doubt the SES Angels as I call them (coz of the top job they do), FESA and other Emergency Services will be on alert tomorrow late afternoon when this second cold front is expected to hit the coast.
Will know more tomorrow.
Cheers,
George

I just got information from a fellow SJA person - that Garden Island is actually being evacuated... - As a result of this incoming severe storm, not sure if anyone else is able to verify this....
Sounds interesting, the storm front is fast approaching the metro coast.
