Could Perth break its longest dry spell on record?

Perth is experiencing is 78th day in a row of no rain which is the second longest dry spell on record for the city. The record of 83 days could be broken if Perth's rain gauage doesn't register any rain from a passing cold front this weekend. The system will be cooling the southwest over Saturday and Sunday but whether the city picks up any rain remains to be seen with most models providing a 50/50 chance.

If Perth misses out on showers this weekend, it is very likely to break the longest dry spell on record set in 1974/75, since clear skies are forecast early next week.
