A high pressure system is moving across us today. Winds are light and there is plenty of sunshine. We do still have a trough, with the risk of afternoon thunderstorms east of about Deniliquin to Shepparton to Eildon.

The high is out to our east from Thursday. This brings a stretch of dry, sunny and hot weather.

It turns humid on Sunday (still hot) and the risk of thunderstorms comes back.
