Monday, 11 July 2005 Possible very coldconditions Tuesday . Forecast Summary Mosture bearing systems are crossing the alpine areas, as the ECL and high in the bight continue to work together to create favourable conditions. There is a series of cold fronts developing around the high , which seem to be pushing north the high. Scattered light snowfalls throughout the week. Thursday should see the emergence of an interesting situation, should the lows force the high south of Tasmania. This could mean at least two weeks of light to moderate snowfall (total 40cm). Daily Forecasts Tuesday 12 , July 2005 Cool day. Snow showers. Min: -7°C Max: -1 °C Precipitation : Snow to 1500m (8cm) (80\%) Wednesday 13 , July 2005 Snow showers .

Monday, 18 July 2005 Possible quite cold, icy conditions Tuesday night to Wednesday morning . Forecast Summary A high situated over south western NSW is pushing artic cold fronts south of the Australian continent. This is typically a summer weather system, and is unusual for the high to dominate so far south this far into the southern winter. It does mean that an east-coast low can develop, and feed tropical moisture into the system, however at this stage it appears that precipitaion later in the week will fall as rain, rather than snow. Daily Forecasts Tuesday 19 , July 2005 Clear day, and cold night. Min: -7°C Max: 0 °C Precipitation : None. Wednesday 20 , July 2005 Cold night, with temperatures rising above freezing after midday . Min: -5 °C Max: 3 °C Precipitation : None. Thursday 21 , July 2005 Cool night, the day will see temperatures start to reach 10°C, with considerable snow melt begining . Min: -3 °C Max: 8 °C Precipitation : None. Friday 22 , July 2005 Possible snow arriving about the peaks late Friday afternoon. Rain below 1800m Min: -1 °C Max: 8 °C Precipitation : Dusting above 1800m (2cm), rain below (2mm) (20 \%) Saturday 23 , July 2005 Possible morning snow about the peaks. Rain below 1800m. Min: -1 °C Max: 9 °C Precipitation : Dusting above 1800m (2cm), rain below (2mm) (30 \%) Mostly warmer conditions, with rain developing next week, except above 1800m (July 24-29) Next snowfall, July 29-31, expecting 30cm.
