Perisher weather forecast: July 19 - 23
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.
Warnings
Possible quite cold, icy conditions Tuesday night to Wednesday morning.
