Next Storm Cycle to Bring Deeper Powder

Summary

Tuesday saw wild winds and rain in the Australian Alps, followed by snow as temperatures dropped, with 5–10 cm at Perisher. More snow is expected through Wednesday. Thursday looks good, and a weekend storm will bring heavy snow up high, strong winds, and possible low-level snow Sunday.

Short Term Forecast

Forecast for Wednesday 23rd July

Several more centimetres of snow are expected on Wednesday before showers ease in the evening, with chilly west to northwest winds delivering a bit more accumulation on upper slopes.

Forecast for Thursday 24th & Friday 25th July

Thursday offered a mix of sun and clouds with a gentle, cooling breeze from the west-southwest, ideal conditions for heading up. On Friday, the sky became mostly cloudy as mild northerly winds grew stronger.

Forecast for Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th July

Snow will keep falling on mid and upper slopes Saturday with good accumulations, while lower areas see rain and strong north-to-northwest winds. Sunday brings heavy rain and snow, with large accumulations expected higher up and snow levels possibly rising to 1400m amid gusty northwesterly winds.

Extended Forecast

Lighter snowfall will continue into early Tuesday as snow levels drop to or below base with colder air arriving, before a new storm brings more snow later that Tuesday through Wednesday.

Thanks for reading. The next forecast will be out Friday.
