Note
Fire Weather District Ratings are provided in conjunction with Fire Authorities. District FBI (Fire Behaviour Index) is the representative peak FBI in the district. 10% of the Fire Weather District has a max FBI higher than this value. When the table is expanded the forecast elements in the expanded rows apply to the relevant Sub Area rather than district. Red cells indicate the value exceeds the weather alert threshold. For c-Haines this is the 95th percentile climatological value, for WCDI this is a value over 40, for Minor Fuel Type Rating this indicates Extreme or higher whilst the district rating is less than Extreme.
Wednesday
Showers and thunderstorms over the Kimberley and northern and eastern parts of the Interior. Possible heavy falls with thunderstorms over the northern Kimberley. Possible showers southwest of a line from Jurien Bay to Hopetoun. Fresh and gusty north to northeasterly winds in the far east of the state, tending moderate to fresh west to southwesterly over other parts. Fresh afternoon sea breezes along the coast.
