The latest strong cold front approaching the south-west of the state, including Perth, was due to hit Albany about 8:00am, before tracking along a line from Hopetoun to Jurien Bay by about 2:00pm.
Mr Pusey said the strong winds would continue into Tuesday, possibly bringing hail in the morning and up to 15 millimetres of rain.
"A second cold front will move through on Tuesday morning, and we're expecting things to start to ease off a little bit after that, so we'll have a good 24 hours of this sort of activity off and on."
