Perth is in for a wild and stormy Tuesday with a severe weather warning issued for much of the South West.
The Bureau of Meteorology expects a strong cold front to produce gusty showers and isolated thunderstorms in the morning, impacting many areas between Perth and Albany.
Strong winds averaging 50km/h to 60km/h are possible over the region in the late morning, extending to the Lower West, Great Southern, and South Coastal districts, with the Perth metropolitan area not excluded.
Expect the blustery conditions to be felt over Bunbury, Busselton, Mandurah, Manjimup, Margaret River and Mount Barker.
In some cases, damaging wind gusts of 90km/h could be experienced.
BOM expects conditions to ease in the late afternoon and into the evening — and reminds residents of the South West this weather is typical for the time of year.
Perth is expected to reach a maximum of 22C, with the potential of between 10mm and 25mm of rain.
