A storm advice has been issued to West Aussies urging residents to act now to stay safe.<\/p>\n
The Bureau of Meteorology issued the alert just before 11am on Wednesday, advising people in Northam, Dowerin, Gingin, Wongan Hills, Armadale and Beverley to prepare now.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to act now and stay safe with severe weather forecast including damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rainfall from late this morning, persisting through the afternoon,\u201d the alert stated.<\/p>\n
The wind \u201cmay cause damage to homes and property\u201d, and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services is warning locals to secure and tie down outdoor furniture, trampolines and other loose items around your home that could be picked up and thrown by strong winds.<\/p>\n
Just after 12.30pm, the BoM cancelled the warning for the South West, Upper Great South, Midwest Gascoyne and Perth metro area, leaving just Merredin, Dowerin, Cunderdin, Kellerberrin and Mukinbudin in the warning zone.<\/p>\n

The worst is set to hit from late on Wednesday morning, persisting through until the afternoon.<\/p>\n
BoM predicts that the scattered storms will only last for one day, with Thursday expected to be partly sunny with a top of 27C.<\/p>\n
