Weather Situation

A trough lies over the central Kimberley and extends back towards the Pilbara coast. The western part of the trough will move inland through the Pilbara Wednesday and Thursday as a ridge to the south begins to weaken.

The trough will then extend back into the western Pilbara on Friday.
