Hi folks

Pretty interesting weekend coming up. Just about the coldest air of the season will be making its way across the state Saturday and lingering into Sunday. Moisture progs have improved a little and certainly after 3pm (roughly) in central parts it could get interesting under any coldies, Sunday out east as well. Pretty windy and maybe some follow up fronts for a separate thread to start late weekend.
Warm and dry tomorrow though, those of us with 24 hr max on wx station might have a mild temp Saturday at midnight but cooling from mid morning in central parts.

Thanks Ruck for the thread👍
Really looking forward to this one, like u have said,
I agree that it looks like the coldest blast this year so far.
I’d be expecting snow down to around 4-500m mark,with 528
Thickness pushing right into vic! Purple line also comes
Up really high in the bight so it could be a snow in
Some really low lying area event imo

Satellite looking pretty awesome today

Yep Ruckle, and the water vapour view looks promising for decent alpine snow. What a snow season it is up there.

Here in Gippsland we have dire drought conditions, yet with all the snow, Lake Glenmaggie will fill soon, and the dairy irrigators have been allocated 100% of the normal season water right!

Looks very cold and savage this one!
Somewhere will get some nice low level
Snow imo

Calm, fine 25C here today.

Hoping for good snow reports over the weekend (at the expense of challenging conditions for golf tomorrow arvo).

19.1C with the N air flow @ E/Sale in the last 1/2hr while later today BOM forecasts snow above 500m - some might say that is fairly changeable weather....

Tomorrow also snow above 500m, after some very Springlike weather this week in the low 20's.

Dooga might get a sprinkle of snow, pic if it happens pls

Talking the seasons snow fall, been getting good views of Mt Wellington the last week or two, most snow cover I can remember for maybe 5 years.

18.0 for a high yesterday, 12.2 the high since midnight but back to just over 8 with a squally shower now. Satellite looks good for hopefully some coldies over central and western parts at peak heating so fingers crossed.

Yeah Ruck settle in for hopefully a snowy late arvo
Evening.
Just starting to get that rain band here now!
Going to get cold pretty quickly I would think.

Samboz- yeah we might/hopefully see some flurries
In the air from possibly around tea tonight onwards?
It’s a snow level of 500m so we might struggle to get
A dusting out of it but u never know?

21C with gusty WNW'ly raising dust occasionally, partly sunny, partly splats of rain atm.

Down to 4.7 here now but drizzle stopping and sky brightening.

Change pushing right through now.
Temp was 15c an hour ago now 7c!

Some impressive temps out south west vic!

Still 20C after 21.8C @ 0830 in Sale

Better dig out the Winter gear again!

Now 13C in Sale and a balmy 26.7C @ Orbost. Wind at E/Sale BOM
65kph, highest gust 89KPH - doesn't feel or look like it in town.

Safe to say Bairnsdale will be chilling off very soon also

Gone very cold with odd brief shower here. Perfect for golf. Not.

Change better get to Bonang area quick, fire in plantation spreading rapidly reported to be spotting - airsupport requested but not available

7c here atm.
Looking like the colder air starting to push up towards
Ballarat/Melb!

12c with strong winds and Hail showers but uppers looks dry of Virga.

Second cold cell hits just little hail and showers too much Virga with thunder lighting...Strange what makes cold upper dry.

Looking West can see Virga
