The trough will enter western parts of the state during the afternoon and move into central parts in the evening.
A cold front will move across Tasmania late Monday and early Tuesday while the trough moves to the far east of Victoria.
Another trough will move across Victoria during Wednesday, then move north-east across New South Wales later in the week as a high pressure ridge extends across southern Victoria.
