A cyclone off the West Australian coast has strengthened to a category four system as it tracks towards communities in the Kimberley region.
Tropical Cyclone Errol is currently about 500 kilometres northwest of W-A, intensifying overnight from a system two and turning sharply towards the coast.

Erroll is likely to drop down through the category numbers on Friday, but it's still expected to bring strong to damaging winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms from Friday afternoon until Saturday."
