Forecast Summary
Two pressure systems, a eastlery low and a northerly high are combining to draw moisture and warm air from the tropics down the east cost of Australia.

The alpine areas can expect about 50mm of rain over the seven days from Wednesday 29. A resident cold front could have seen this falling as nearly 50cm of snow.
Warnings
Wet conditions, with possible flooding, and reducded visability of roadways around the alpine areas. Take care!
