The bureau report said Wimmera residents could expect strong and damaging winds throughout the day.
The report said a cold front south of the bight will move rapidly eastwards on Tuesday, crossing Victoria on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.
North to northwesterly winds will strengthen ahead of the front late Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Damaging winds averaging 50 to 60 kilometres an hour with peak gusts of 90 kilometres an hour are forecast to develop on Monday afternoon across the Wimmera.
They will reach the south-west, central and north-central forecast districts and contract eastwards across parts of the north-east, west, south Gippsland and east Gippsland forecast districts into the evening.
Wind gusts of about 110 kilometres an hour are possible in alpine areas.
The bureau issued a warning to sheep graziers across the Mallee and Wimmera.
It warned sheep graziers that cold temperatures, rain and showers and strong north-westerly winds could hit on Monday, particularly during the afternoon and evening.
There is a risk of losses of lambs and sheep exposed to these conditions.
The State Emergency Service advised people to move vehicles under cover or away from trees, secure or put away loose items around the house, yard and balcony, and keep clear of fallen power lines.
People who need help in floods or storms should call their service unit on 132 500.
