Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Dean Stewart told the Mail-Times there would be a slight risk of thunderstorms in the region the middle of this week.
"The fronts will produce showers across the state including up through the Wimmera, but no individual front produce a big dump of rain," he said.
"It will be a bit hit and miss as to whether showers will go over a person's property or miss it. There might be a couple of places in the north Wimmera with less shower activity, and down on the Grampians there might be a few places that fare a bit better.
"The showers will persist: There will be some into the middle part of next week, but again no significant rain band is expected through that area. We might see some snow on the Grampians by Wednesday week and there will be cold air and clear skies so there is the risk of some frost developing late in the week."
