DETAILED ALPINE FORECAST (above 1200 metres)
REST OF TODAY
Dry, sunny.
TUESDAY
Dry, becoming cloudy.
WEDNESDAY
Freeze level: 1700 metres, lowering below 1200 metres from late afternoon.
Snow slowly developing in the afternoon, turning persistent and heavier at night.
THURSDAY
Freeze level: About 1400 metres.
Persistent snow, breaking to snow showers in the morning.

OUTLOOK
A new cold front should move through on the weekend and will be a strong one. It all depends what the trailing high will do for how much it will affect us. If it stays well back to our west then we get a strong cold outbreak and a lot of snow (from the southwest). If it elongates up over South Australia then we won't see as much snow and it won't be as cold.
