Snow Weather Outlook in the Australian Alps: 22 – 25 August 2023

Published

Weather Overview

A high-pressure system situated above the Tasman Sea stretches a ridge across New South Wales. Warm weather is anticipated before a cold front moves through today, bringing along showers and thunderstorms in the southern areas. Following this, another high-pressure ridge is predicted to form, becoming the prominent characteristic in the region for the remainder of the week. As the weekend approaches, there’s a possibility of a low-pressure trough forming over eastern New South Wales, coinciding with the development of another high-pressure system to the south near Tasmania. This combination could result in showery conditions affecting the southern and central coastal and mountainous areas.

Tuesday’s Rest-of-Day Forecast

Partly cloudy skies with a significant likelihood of showers, particularly expected during the latter part of the morning. Snowfall is anticipated at altitudes exceeding 1400 meters. There’s a possibility of a thunderstorm developing in the afternoon and evening. Wind patterns are predicted to shift from a north-westerly direction at speeds of 20 to 30 km/h, gradually transitioning to westerly winds of 15 to 20 km/h later in the evening.
