A CYCLONE warning for parts of West Australia's Pilbara Coast has been cancelled, after ex-Tropical Cyclone Peta weakened late on Wednesday.
The Category 1 cyclone weakened rapidly after crossing the Pilbara coast just to the east of Point Samson at around 4pm (WST) on Wednesday, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) in Western Australia said.
While further gales were not expected to hit the region, heavy rainfall was predicted for the area south of Karratha overnight with squally thunderstorms also possible.
A severe weather warning and a flood watch was issued overnight for the Pilbara.
It comes after mining giant Rio Tinto closed its Cape Lambert facility at Port Walcott and Dampier port on Tuesday in preparation for the wild weather.
It expects most of its coastal operations to resume on Thursday morning but the resumption of ship loading will depend on prevailing sea conditions.
Although the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Peta could move back off the west Pilbara coast later in the week, it was not expected to redevelop into a tropical cyclone, the BoM said.
