Melburnians are rugging up on Friday with temperatures not expected to top 10C - meaning it's likely to be the city's coldest day since mid-July 2015.

Melbourne is set to shiver through its coldest June day in almost two decades.

The city is expecting a top of 10C on Friday with a low overnight of 5C.

If the temperature doesn't exceed the forecast high, it'll be the coldest June day since 1998, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Keris Arndt told AAP.

Friday would also be the coldest day in Melbourne since mid-July 2015.

On top of nearby Mount Dandenong the temperature isn't expected to exceed 5C all day.

The BOM is also forecasting snow will fall down to 500 metres, which means the Dandenongs could receive a relatively rare blanketing.

The Macedon ranges, Ballarat hills and the Grampians may also see some snow on Friday.

There's a minor flood warning for the Kiewa River and a sheep graziers warning.

Temperatures will remain chilly into the weekend, with Melbourne expecting a maximum of 13C on Saturday and 12C on Sunday. Friday night lows will be 5C and 4C respectively.

The mercury won't head higher again until Tuesday when 14C is forecast for the city.
