Tasmania is in for another blast of wind, rain and snow this weekend.

A cold front was expected to cross the state on Saturday and drag a pool of air from the Southern Ocean in its wake.

Showers will develop with and behind the front and are likely to fall as snow above and elevation of 900-1000m overnight and into Sunday morning. Small hail is also likely in some areas of the west and south.

On Sunday, showers will become confined mostly to the state’s west and south as a deepening low pressure system off the east coast causes cold and blustery southwesterly winds. Maximum temperatures on Sunday will be close to 10 degrees in southern Tasmania, although areas exposed to the wind will feel a few degrees colder than this.

The cold front and associated low pressure system will also cause snow highland snow, showers and gusty winds in Victoria this weekend.

Wind and showers will ease on later on Sunday and on Monday as the low moves into the Tasman Sea.
