Australian Forecast – A Shot of Powder Tuesday Before Another Settled Spell
Published early Monday, 16th June 2025
It was a great weekend to be up in the Aussie Alps for the second weekend of the season. The groomed runs were and are still the pick of the bunch, as good snow-making conditions have continued, while off-piste is still in early-season mode.
This week, a front from the west will bring a fresh 5-10cm of snow from Monday night through Tuesday. High pressure will then settle in on Wednesday, bringing fine, settled weather through to the end of the week. More snow is on the cards next week.
Monday 16th June
Strengthening northwest winds will push cloud and patchy drizzle or snow flurries over Victorian resorts, while New South Wales will just be partly cloudy.
A front from the west will bring a shot of snow at night/overnight.
Tuesday 17th June
Continuing light snowfalls will back off to the odd flurry in Victoria in the afternoon and New South Wales in the evening, as strong, gusty northwesterlies turn westwards.
Wednesday 18th June
Any remaining snow flurries will clear by dawn, then clouds will gradually break up and dissipate throughout the day as west-to-southwest winds ease.
Thursday 19th June
Fine with high cloud and a west-to-northwest breeze.
Extended Forecast
High pressure will keep the weather fine and settled on Friday and the weekend, although cloud and northwest winds will pick up on Sunday as a front approaches from the west.
The front is expected to hit Monday, the 23rd June, bringing an initial bout of rain and high-level snow, followed by cooler temperatures and snowfall to around base levels from Tuesday through Friday. This should provide a much-needed boost to the snowpack for the weekend of the 28th-29th June.
That’s all from me today, folks. I’m sending out these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Have a great couple of days, and I’ll see you back here on Wednesday.
