Strong winds will batter most parts of Victoria before a cold front sets in at midnight, bringing with it rain and potential gusts of up to 100km/h.


Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Dean Stewart said although Melburnians can look forward to a mostly sunny and dry day, patchy showers will hit in the evening, along with a cold front.


“It will not be anywhere near as strong as the wind two weeks ago, but still strong enough to see damage around the area,” Mr Stewart said.


He said winds have already picked up at Melbourne Airport, with gusts reaching up to 70km/h by 6.30am on Tuesday.
