Watch zone: None.
Cancelled zones: Minilya Roadhouse to Overlander Roadhouse.
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Seroja at 8:00 pm AWST:
Intensity: category 3, sustained winds near the centre of 120 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 165 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 20 kilometres of 28.1 degrees South, 114.3 degrees East , 45 kilometres south southeast of Kalbarri and 80 kilometres north northwest of Geraldton .
Movement: southeast at 53 kilometres per hour .
The core of severe tropical cyclone Seroja is moving onto the coast south of Kalbarri, where wind gusts to 170 km/h have been reported. Impacts are otherwise occurring about the coast and adjacent inland between Denham and Geraldton.
Seroja is travelling at around 55 kilometres per hour, and significant impacts are expected to extend south and inland through to Wheat Belt communities overnight.
The cyclone will weaken as it moves further inland on Monday but is still likely to result in damaging wind gusts, particularly to the north and east of the track, and heavy rain close to the track, as it moves through the eastern Wheat Belt, southern Goldfields and South East Coastal district. A Severe Weather Warning is current for areas to the southeast of the Tropical Cyclone Warning area.
Hazards:
VERY DESTRUCTIVE WINDS, with gusts to 170 kilometres per hour, have occurred in Kalbarri and nearby areas to the south and east as the core of Severe Tropical Cyclone Seroja crosses the coast.
DESTRUCTIVE WINDS with gusts to 150 kilometres per hour are occurring on the coast between Billabong Roadhouse and Geraldton, and will extend inland overnight tonight. Destructive gusts above 125 kilometres per hour may extend inland as far as a line from Dalwallinu to Paynes Find, including Morawa. Towns in this area very rarely experience wind gusts this strong.
GALES with gusts to 100 kilometres per hour are occurring on the coast between Denham and south of Geraldton, and extend inland to Chapman Valley and Binnu. Gales will extend south of Geraldton during the next few hours, and extend inland into the southern Gascoyne and northern Wheatbelt overnight.
People near Geraldton are experiencing intermittent GALES, and are likely to experience a brief period of DESTRUCTIVE winds around 9 pm.
Seroja is moving fast, so weather conditions will deteriorate rapidly as it approaches.
HEAVY TO INTENSE RAINFALL and FLASH FLOODING are likely close to the track of Seroja during Sunday evening and Monday.
ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES could cause minor inundation at the coast between Coral Bay and Lancelin, increasing to SERIOUS FLOODING in the Denham and Shark Bay region and near Kalbarri. Dangerous surf and beach erosion is expected between Denham and Geraldton.
