Victoria Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 28th March)
Best Days: Saturday -Tuesday at exposed spots, Wednesday onwards west of Melbourne
Recap
Yesterday was quite an interesting day. A surface trough moving south-east across the state brought with it a swing in wind direction from the E/SE during the morning to a light N/NE'ly. With this the weather did clear and conditions cleaned up, but it didn't quite reach further east of Phillip Island.
