South west WA residents have been warned to brace for a destructive storm bringing gales of up to 125 kmh tomorrow morning.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the winds will come along with a cold front over the state’s south west. Residents between Jurien Bay and Albany would be worst affected.
The worst of the front is likely to hit Augusta just after midnight, and Perth by sunrise, bringing heavy rain and winds that could damage homes and make travel dangerous.
There would be “locally destructive gusts” of up to 125 kmh, the Bureau said.

WA property tycoon Nigel Satterley has vowed to defend legal action against the Satterley Property Group by a group of Secret Harbour families who claim the
company mislead them over the location of the Mandurah road and rail.
The group of nine families lodged their writs in the Federal Court this morning claiming they were the victims of a breach of the Federal Trade Practices Act and a breach of contract.
The families claim they were not told about the realignment of the Mandurah road when they purchased their blocks.
They claim the omission resulted in the busy road being metres from their doorsteps, and that they were misled about the close proximity of the Mandurah railway.
The residents are being represented by high-profile lawyer John Hammond.
Mr Satterley said the allegations against Satterley Property Group would be strongly defended.

A great white shark has been sighted circling a whale carcass near a popular Perth beach. Floating about six nautical miles west of Scarborough Beach, the carcass is believed to have attracted the shark, which was spotted on Sunday.
WA Department of Fisheries spokesman Tony Cappelluti said he was concerned the dead whale would float closer to the shoreline.
“While the carcass is a long way off any Perth beaches, it is important that boat users or divers are aware of the potential increased shark activity near the carcass,” Mr Cappelluti said.
“There has also been another shark sighting this morning at Strickland Bay on Rottnest Island, where warning signs were erected several days ago after sightings made during the week.”
