More Snow on Monday, Then Things Settle Down

Summary

Australian resorts kicked off the season with a well-timed snowstorm, dropping 25–55 cm by Sunday and opening up solid terrain. More snow is falling Monday morning, starting light and dry but becoming heavier and wetter as temperatures rise. The rest of the week looks mostly settled, with just the odd flurry and winds easing before turning northerly by the weekend.

Short Term Forecast

Forecast for Monday 9th June

Throughout much of Monday, snowfall will persist, and heavy accumulations are possible. In the morning, snow levels in Victoria are likely to climb above the base level, while in New South Wales, this rise is expected in the afternoon—potentially reaching mid-mountain at some resorts. Coupled with brisk southerly winds, conditions will turn damp and unpleasant, falling short of what we had hoped for. Nevertheless, total snow accumulation between midnight and midnight is expected to be around 5-15cm. It’s wise to get out early before temperatures start to rise.

Forecast for Tuesday 10th to Friday 13th June

On Tuesday, skies will be mostly cloudy with occasional snow flurries as southerly winds ease and turn southwest. Mt Buller is likely to see more sunshine than other areas because of its sheltered location. Wednesday will bring partly cloudy conditions with a few possible snow flurries as the southwest breezes lessen. Thursday should be mostly clear, although some clouds may develop in the afternoon, possibly causing a light snow shower, along with light southerly winds. For Friday, a weak high-pressure system is expected to bring mostly settled weather.

Extended Forecast

This weekend and into early next week, weak high pressure will keep conditions mostly stable, with only a few light showers possible. As weak fronts approach, winds from the north to northwest will come and go, while overnight temperatures are expected to remain cold, benefiting snowmaking efforts. Between Wednesday, June 18th, and Saturday, June 21st, there is a chance of some light snow.

Thanks for reading. The next forecast will be out early Wednesday.
