Heavy rain over Victoria's east coast is easing after more than 150mm fell on some areas at the weekend.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said rainfall had begun to ease over East Gippsland and should move out of Victoria by Monday afternoon.

The rain, brought with a low-pressure system from NSW, only glanced most of the far east of the state, although some areas received more than 150mm over three days.

That was much more than Melbourne's 10mm, he said.

The bureau warns flash flooding in the East Gippsland district is still possible and a minor flood warning is in place for the Cann, Genoa, Bombala and Snowy rivers.
