Our spidey senses are tingling...🤭⛈️

A strong cold front is set to sweep across the South West of the state from Friday night into Saturday, bringing widespread showers, gusty winds, possible thunderstorms, and small hail in some areas. There’s even a chance of snow flurries at highest peak of Stirling ranges. Those in the Perth metro can expect a wet and windy Saturday with showers hanging around throughout the day.

Time to be the friendly neighbourhood hero and secure those loose items before your outdoor gear decides to do its own web-slinging across to the neighbours’ yard.

Heading out? Slow down on wet roads, leave extra space between you and the car in front and never drive through flooded roads. If you're planning to hit the coast, expect rough conditions and think twice before heading into the water.

With weather like this, your best move might be to stay indoors with your favourite superhero movie 🕷️
