THE Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for people in parts of WA southwest of a line from Lancelin to Narrogin to Walpole.
This includes people in, near or between the Perth Metropolitan area, Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River and Bridgetown but not including Narrogin.
The passage of a cold front during Sunday morning may produce damaging winds to 100 kilometres per hour that could result in damage to homes and property.
Strong winds and moderate to heavy rainfall are likely to develop over the Southwest Capes from about 4am Sunday morning, extending to southwest of a line from the Perth metropolitan area to Walpole by 9am.
The potential for damaging winds will ease by midday Sunday but moderate to heavy rainfall is likely to continue until late afternoon.
This is typical weather for this time of the year but winds may cause damage to property and make road conditions hazardous.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
Store or weigh down loose objects such as outdoor furniture.
Have an emergency kit with a battery operated radio, torch, spare batteries and first aid kit.
Ensure pets and animals are in a safe area.
Move vehicles under cover.
Boat owners should securely moor their boats.
Campers should find shelter away from trees, power lines, storm water drains and streams.
If your home or property has significant damage, like a badly damaged roof or flooding, call the SES on 132 500.
The next warning will be issued by 11:00 pm WST Saturday.
