A low-pressure system to the north will bring light snow to the Australian Alps today, with Victoria expecting 1-3cm.

This front will dip south before reaching the area Thursday.

Snow showers will cover the Australian Alps in the morning, descending to about 1500-1600m. Victoria will see the most (1-3cms), while New South Wales will receive 1cm or less. Skies will begin to clear by late afternoon, with NW winds.
Tuesday & Wednesday (6th & 7th August)
Tuesday will be clear, though some clouds may appear in the afternoon as W-NW winds strengthen. Mt Buller will be cloudier with occasional light rain in the afternoon.
Wednesday will have morning cloud that will clear for a sunny day, but Mt Buller will remain cloudy into the afternoon with some light rain. Westerly winds will shift to the NW.
Thursday & Friday (8th & 9th August)
Thursday will see cloud cover thicken over the Australian Alps as NW winds intensify. Expect a light snowfall down to approximately 1500m during the night, as a front passes over, which will clear up for a nice day Friday.
Extended Forecast
Mostly clear weather this weekend as high pressure moves in. Conditions are expected to become unstable by mid-next week, likely starting with rain before colder temperatures bring snow a day or two following.
Thanks for reading. I'll continue to provide these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the southern hemisphere season.
