Alpine forecast

During the last few days of June snowfalls will generally be light and favour southern resorts such as Mt Buller and Baw Baw where close to 5cm is likely.

The first week of July is looking rather snowy due to the likelihood of a series of decent cold fronts. This looks like becoming one of our snowiest weeks of the season so far with more than 20cm a good chance, most falling during Monday/Tuesday.

A further dusting of fresh snow is a fair chance again during the following week but fronts are not likely to be that strong.
