Lexton, in western Victoria’s Central Goldfields, is in for a cool and mostly cloudy Tuesday, with the live forecast above showing a top of 15°C and a chance of drizzle late in the day, making it one of the milder spots inland from Ballarat.
What is driving Lexton’s weather today?
A slow-moving trough over western Victoria is dragging moisture from the south-west, keeping skies grey across the Pyrenees region. The melbourne weather radar and vic radar weather both indicate patchy light rain drifting across the central districts, though Lexton should stay mostly dry until the afternoon. Wind speeds are light, up to 15 km/h from the south-west, so it won’t feel much colder than the air temperature.
Will the rain amount to much?
According to the rain forecast map and weather map live tools, the band of drizzle is thin and scattered. If you’re wondering where is it raining right now, the live weather radar shows the best chance of showers developing around 4–6 pm, with a rain radar next 24 hours outlook suggesting clearing skies overnight. Totals should be under 2 millimetres, so no major disruption is expected.
Is Lexton likely to see frost tonight?
Clearing skies overnight could bring patchy frost in the deeper valleys around Lexton, especially if wind drops. Temperatures are forecast to dip to 4°C, so protect tender plants if you’re up early.
How does Lexton’s weather compare to nearby Ballarat?
Lexton is often a degree or two cooler than Ballarat due to its higher elevation at 580 metres. Today’s cloudy conditions mean both towns will share similar afternoon drizzle, but Ballarat might see slightly stronger winds.
When does the next significant weather change arrive?
A stronger cold front is expected to cross western Victoria on Thursday, bringing a more solid band of rain and gusty winds. Check the Severe Weather Warning page for updates if you have outdoor plans.
