News
A dumping of wet snow this weekend - up high and in the east (50-60cm), then colder snow early next week.
A low pressure system has formed near Adelaide, and has both tropical moisture and a cold pool of air.
The low will cross northwestern Victoria then southeast NSW on Friday night, before deepening just off Merimbula on the weekend. Alpine areas will see precipitation from Friday to Sunday - heaviest in the east Saturday night / Sunday morning. There should be just enough cold air to produce heavy snow above 1700 metres, but rain below.
A new cold front will cross Victoria on Monday, bringing a moderate amount of snow - but this time, throughout all alpine elevations.
