The folklore "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning" first appeared in the Bible in the book of Matthew.
It is an old weather saying often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and was originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather.
The red sky is the morning is due to the high-pressure weather system having already moved east, meaning the good weather has passed, most likely making way for a wet and windy low-pressure system.
The bureau says a low pressure system will approach western Victoria late Tuesday with an associated trough sliding slowly across the state on Wednesday and weakening as the low becomes near-stationary to the west of Tasmania.
A mild, humid and unstable north-westerly air stream will prevail across Victoria for the remainder of the week following the front.
