Western Australia
Thu 11:00 am WDT
Cloud is building over eastern parts of WA as tropical moisture is drawn inland by moist westerly winds causing the odd isolated shower in coastal areas. Thick cloud over the west with a trough and near a low is generating a region of thundery showers, potentially severe.
