SEVERE Tropical Cyclone Narelle is no longer a threat to West Australian communities but residents have been warned to avoid potential hazards caused by storm damage.
The all clear has been given to the state's north in and near Exmouth and Coral Bay.
However, Coral Bay residents should remain cautious with strong winds still impacting the area.
The Bureau of Meteorology said at 2.30pm (WST) on Sunday the category three cyclone was about 355km west of Exmouth and 440km northwest of Carnarvon, and moving south southwest at 14km/h.
It is expected to continue south southwest and not come closer to the coast before weakening.
The bureau says the cyclone is also unlikely to produce gales on the coast, although a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Sunday afternoon and evening for parts of the Gascoyne and Central West districts, including coastal areas between Cape Cuvier and Northampton.
Tides along the west Pilbara coast and down the west coast are likely to rise above the normal high tide mark with flooding of low lying coastal areas possible, the bureau said.
Road users have been advised gusty winds, thunderstorm activity and high tides may affect driving conditions, and road conditions could change.
"Please approach all floodways with extreme caution, obey road closure signs and do not drive into water of unknown depth and current," the State Emergency Service advises.
"If driving through heavy rain, please slow down and turn your lights on, or if visibility becomes poor, pull over and park until it passes."
Authorities said there was no damage to homes or other infrastructure during the cyclone threat.
Incident management teams in Karratha and Carnarvon have both begun demobilising.
