The Bureau of Meteorology has put the Ovens and the Richardson on final flood warnings, closing out the two rivers that carried most of the Victorian flood event, with four rivers still on minor warnings on Monday morning.
The Victorian warnings summary generated at 10.44am AEST has minor warnings current on the Kiewa, the Goulburn, the Loddon and the Avoca. A final warning is the last bulletin the Bureau issues on a river for a given event, so the Ovens and the Richardson are done unless new rain changes that.
The road weather alert for Melbourne is current again, covering the inner, western, eastern and south eastern suburbs. It had been cancelled on Sunday.
The Victorian state forecast issued at 4am on Monday has the high pressure system over Tasmania moving into the Tasman Sea during the day. Monday is mild and partly cloudy, with morning fog near the ranges, isolated showers in East Gippsland, and light to moderate winds from the east and north east.
A low pressure trough then crosses South Australia on Tuesday and early Wednesday before slipping south of Victoria on Wednesday. Rain or showers are likely about western districts on Tuesday and should extend east by evening. Patchy rain moves through central and then eastern districts on Wednesday, heavier north of the ranges, with the chance of a thunderstorm in the north west. By Thursday the rain is confined to the north east and a weak high builds back over the state.
No flood watch is current for Victoria.
In Western Australia a cold front and trough were crossing the central and southern parts of the state on Monday. The state forecast issued at 1.45am WST has showers through the South West Land Division, the western and southern Gascoyne, the southern Goldfields and western Eucla. There is a chance of a thunderstorm on the coast between Perth and Albany, with small hail possible, and winds are strong in the south west.
A weak ridge follows the front on Tuesday, leaving showers on the Lower West and South West coasts, fog inland and patchy frost through the wheat belt and the Great Southern. A cloud band develops through the Gascoyne on Wednesday and takes rain into the Pilbara, the northern and eastern Goldfields and the interior, holding into Thursday.
A hazardous surf warning is current for New South Wales. Marine wind warning summaries apply to Western Australia and South Australia, and four ocean wind warnings are current in Metarea 10. Queensland, the Northern Territory and Tasmania have no warnings on land.
The Bureau reissues the Victorian flood warnings and the state forecasts through the day. River heights and road closures are published on the Bureau's Victorian warnings page and at VicEmergency.
