Perth locals should be dusting off their rain jackets as thunderstorms are tipped to hit the city ahead of next week\u2019s wave of showers.<\/p>\n
As winter creeps closer, Perth will see a rev up in wet weather starting this week, after the Bureau of Meteorology forecast tipped a storm front passing over the city on Thursday, which has enjoyed otherwise clear skies.<\/p>\n
The Bureau\u2019s senior meteorologist, Illana Cherny, said locals should brace for an afternoon storm, but not a smashing.<\/p>\n
\u201c(There is) a cold front passing through the south west land division tomorrow during Thursday and that\u2019s going to bring a chance of thunderstorms . . . in the afternoon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this stage looking more like showers and a run of of the mill storm, not looking like we\u2019re going to see particularly heavy rainfall.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thankfully for the keen runners tackling the HBF Run for a Reason on Sunday, skies will clear up for the weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter tomorrow, looking at the forecast, looking like we return to dry conditions, a little bit cooler in wake of that front,\u201d Ms Cherny said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Friday mostly sunny 19C, Saturday 19C as well and Sunday 22C.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the dry spell will only be short lived, with rain tipped to pour down as the week turns on Monday.<\/p>\n
