Monday will be mostly fine with easing west–southwest winds, while Tuesday brings sunshine to NSW, building clouds in Victoria, and light showers turning to snow above 1500 m. By Wednesday, showers spread across Victoria with snow above 1600–1700 m and strong to gale-force northwesterlies.
Forecast for Thursday 4th & Friday 5th September
On Thursday, strong to gale-force winds continue with building showers, snow levels starting around 1600–1700 m before a cold southwest change overnight brings a light dusting of snow to lower areas. On Friday, lingering snow showers at Mt Baw Baw gradually clear, with clouds dissipating elsewhere under chilly southwest winds.
