Snow accumulations from the Opening Weekend Storm saw Aussie resorts score a healthy load of snow, ranging from 35cm at Mt Buller to around 70m at Hotham and Perisher, with the other resorts sitting somewhere in between. It was a timely dump that has allowed us to kick off the season with a good amount of terrain open, with even more opening up this weekend. 

A ridge of high pressure will keep skies clear Friday and Saturday, before northwest winds and some light showers kick up on Sunday ahead of a front early next week. The front will bring a nice wee top-up of snow Monday and Tuesday, although temperatures are looking marginal at first.

Friday 13th June

Any cloud cover clears first thing to a fine, sunny day, with light southeasterly breezes. 

Saturday 14th June

Another fine day, with increasing northerly winds.

Sunday 15th June

Partially cloudy, with a few snow showers or flurries likely, and north-to-northwest winds.

Monday 16th June

Patchy drizzle or snow flurries throughout the day, turning to heavier snowfall after dark. Strong, gusty north-to-northwest winds.

Extended Forecast

Snow showers will likely continue through Tuesday, the 17th, adding to what should be a nice wee top-up, with some light leftovers possible on Wednesday, the 18th of June.

High pressure will then keep things dry and settled until next weekend, when on Sunday, the 22nd June, a fast-moving front passes over, possibly bringing a mix of rain and snow.

That’s all from me today, folks. I’m sending out these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
