A low in the Tasman Sea will move towards Victoria and Tasmania over the next few days, with a series of troughs crossing southern parts on Monday and Tuesday.

This will bring showers, tending to rain, across the flood watch area.

Meantime a severe weather warning for damaging winds is still active for parts of the Otway coast near Apollo Bay and Cape Otway.
