Hey Victorians!
We’re sorry if you’re sick of us saying this by now, but HOOOO BOY are you in for some weather today. Some weather indeed, yessiree.
The Bureau of Meteorology is reporting that you lot are gonna be thrashed by hectic high speed winds mainly today, but it’s gonna continue on for a few days and will be paired with a lovely side of rain and snow on Tues/Wed!
It got up to an insane 100km/h in areas such as Mt Buller, and in metropolitans it was hitting marks of 50-60km/h.
So, wild and woolly – just the way Melburnians like it, yeah?
Will it snow at your place Tuesday? Icy blast coming, snow down to 300m #snow #vicweather https://t.co/zdLTMNeQmT pic.twitter.com/gpjHXIvMCE

BOM senior forecaster Rod Dickson said,
“Maximum gusts overnight were around the 100 km/h mark at places like Kilmore and Mt Buller but most winds gusts in the metropolitan area overnight were around the 50/60 km/h.We are likely to see thunderstorms develop from the west on Tuesday and a very cold air mass so some small hail is likely with the showers as well from Tuesday through to Wednesday afternoon.There will be some pretty chilly mornings after that, close to zero over a large part of inland Victoria later in the week but maximum temperatures will return to mid-teens.”
