Cold snap could see snow fall as low as sea level in Hobart on Monday
Weather forecasters are predicting snow across Tasmania over the weekend and possible snow in Hobart for the first time since 1986.
A broad low pressure system is bringing cold air to the south of the state which could see snowfall to low elevations.
Bureau of Meteorology regional director John Bally said the amount of snowfall was more difficult to predict.
"We have had several occasions this winter when snow has fallen between 300 and 400 metres, but not for prolonged periods," he said.
"With the coldest air on Monday, at this stage, snow could fall to very low levels, meaning snow in Hobart is possible."
Senior forecaster Glen Perrin said it was possible snow could fall at sea level on Monday.
"We're saying the 100-metre mark, but there's every chance that we could see snow down to sea level in various places," he said.
"Just about anywhere in the Hobart area, but we'll see how ... it certainly looks like a very cold day."
Forecasters said the last time snow settled on the ground at sea level in Hobart was in 1986.
The bureau is also urging people to check for warnings through the weekend especially for road users, sheep graziers and bush walkers.
