Bushfires and snow are still predicted to hit Victoria in a 24-hour period in the coming days despite an earlier severe thunderstorm warning blowing over, Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Scott Williams said.
Hailstones and flash flooding were predicted in the northwest of the state on Thursday but the severe warning was cancelled.
Strong winds are expected to sweep across the Mallee region on Sunday, with already dry conditions adding to the bushfire danger rating, which is tipped to hit "severe".
"Victoria, probably not with this first front, but a stronger front later on Sunday could push the Mallee towards severe or into severe fire danger even though they have had some rain," he said.
There were a couple of warm days but the fuel has dried and there would be a lot of wind, Mr Williams said.
"We'll be looking at the wind being the key reason to lift the fire danger," he said.
But there would be a rapid temperature drop up to 15C from Sunday into Monday which could result in snow falling in alpine areas.
"And we're likely to see a snow level on our ranges down to about 1000 metres or so," he said.
"It's a really big contrast (and) just shows the waters to the south of continent haven't increased in temperature much."
