1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Rather a big weekend weatherwise. A lot going on up

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: north at the moment, especially in Xmouth with category four

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: currently tropical Cyclone NoREL. We've managed to get a lot

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: of journey on the line from the bomb just to

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: talk us through what we can expect over the next

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: well a couple of days in our part of the

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: world's Good.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: Morning, Alanta, Good morning hi Alana.

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: I know you're very busy. Thank you so much for

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: spending sparing a few moments to chat to us. What

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: right now is happening with NoREL. We look at a

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: map and we see Exmouth getting pounded.

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: It's a huge store, that's right.

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: It is a large system and a very powerful system.

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: We have severe tropical Cyclone NoREL currently a category for

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: tropical cyclone, situated just to the west southwest of Exmouth.

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: It is very very close to the coast and it's

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: an extending a lot of those impacts inland. So we're

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: seeing some really strong destructive wind gusts up to even

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 2: two hundred kilometers per hour being observed in southern parts

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: of the pilbri There. We're seeing very heavy rainfall up

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: to about two hundred millimeters over the past twenty four hours,

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: and we're also seeing very dangerous storm tide with tides

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: up to about one and a half meters above our

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: usually astronomical height tides, so very significant impacts are being

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: observed near the center of that system.

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: So that's what's going on up there. So obviously here

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: in Perth we're thinking, how is this going to affect

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: us later today and across the weekend. What's the deal

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: for us?

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we are seeing suddenly an increase in weather,

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: increase in rain storms and wind for PERF. So Perf's

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: no longer expected to see a direct hit by the

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: tropical cyclone. It is going to scoot pass to the

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: east during Saturday afternoon, but we are still seeing an

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: increase in rainfall in particular today and tomorrow. Each day

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: we could be seeing rainfall totals of about thirty to

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: sixty millimeters through the Perth area, with the chance of

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: thunderstorms as well, and we could even see some severe thunderstorms.

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: We're damaging wind gusts and heavy falls, so flash flooding

41
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: and even riverine flooding still definitely a risk for Perth

42
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: and surrounding areas.

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: So Alana based on its trajectory now where is it

44
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: most likely to cross.

45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: The system's now located near Xmouth, and it's going to

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: cross the coast later today, so it's really going to

47
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: hug that coast for the next few hours and then

48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: cross on land somewhere around Coral Bay, most likely as

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: a Category three system then and then we'll start tracking

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: to the southeast towards the of An area later today

51
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: and then overnight will continue to weaken down to about

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: a category one tropical cyclone just east of During Bay

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: into Tomorrow morning, and then as a tropical low to

54
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: the east of Perth during the day on Saturday, and

55
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: then later on Saturday night it will eventually move offshore

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: and into the Southern Ocean.

57
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: So basically, even though Norell will no longer be a

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: tropical cyclone, when it does get down to our part

59
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: of the world, it sounds like we're really going to

60
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: still we were risk seeing some real effects from it,

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: so we should take care, right, That's right.

62
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: So even today, ahead of that, ahead of that system

63
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: moving to the east of Perth, we already are starting

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: to see an increase in those gusty showers and thunderstorms,

65
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: so impact and a big weather day expected today Friday

66
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: and tomorrow Saturday for Perth.

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: All right, well, Alanna, thank you so much for keeping

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: us informed, and.

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: We'll let you get back to work, well, let you

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: get back to us.

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: Thanks to Mana
