Perth<\/a> is set for a delightfully mild Easter as temperatures hover around the mid-twenties across the long weekend, with slightly warmer conditions expected for the South West.<\/p>\n

Good Friday will see a mostly sunny 28C maximum in Perth, after dipping to an overnight minimum of a chilly 17C.<\/p>\n

A small amount of rain is predicted for a partly cloudy Easter Saturday, between 0 and 1mm, with a maximum temperature of 24C after an overnight low of 17C.<\/p>\n

Easter Sunday will not bring much change from the day before, delivering a 15C overnight minimum and 24C maximum, with a low chance of 1mm of rain.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s public holiday will continue the trend of steady mild temperatures, with a partly cloudy 25C maximum after a 15C overnight low, with no rain expected.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Marginally warmer temperatures are expected for the South West as thousands of Perth city-dwellers descend on the long weekend hotspot.<\/p>\n

Dunsborough will see a sunny 27C maximum on Good Friday, after a chilly 14C overnight minimum.<\/p>\n

Easter Saturday will bring a partly cloudy 25C, and Easter Sunday will reach a slightly cooler 24C, with a low chance of 1mm of rain.<\/p>\n

The sun will have well and truly gone by Monday as the city slickers return home, with a cloudy 23C maximum expected.<\/p>\n

The mild conditions in the South West of the State are a far cry from those further north, as the Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of the Goldfields and Gascoyne which may lead to flash flooding.<\/p>\n

The towns of Laverton and Kambalda may be affected by the storm.<\/p>\n

The alert warned a \u201cmoist and unstable\u201d airmass will bring the wild weather conditions on Thursday afternoon, according to BOM meteorologist Sarah Scully.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose unstable conditions are continuing to bring showers and storms across large parts of the southern parts of the state,\u201d Ms Scully said.<\/p>\n

\u201c(They) are most likely through inland areas where severe thunderstorms are possible to bring heavy rainfall, damaging winds, or even some large hail.\u201d<\/p>\n
