Icy winds, hail and blustery conditions are expected in Victoria over the weekend.

A strong cold front will hit the state on Saturday, with possible thunderstorms, hail and snow, the Bureau of Meteorology says.

By Sunday morning temperatures in Melbourne are expected to dip to five degrees, with a top of 11, with forecasters projecting the city will be the second coldest capital in the country after Canberra.

Snow is possible in some of Melbourne's outer suburbs and is forecast to fall down to 500 metres in alpine areas.
