Weather finally improves in Victoria

A severe weather warning for much of Victoria has been cancelled, as strong winds and rain ease.

The SES received about 50 calls for assistance since 9am on Tuesday, significantly less than the hundreds received on Monday and the weekend.

The Bureau of Meteorology previously said winds around 50 to 60 km/h were expected to develop on Tuesday evening and into the morning but the danger passed quickly.

"There will still be the odd shower or two about for the coming days but it won't be as windy or as cold," senior forecaster Dean Stewart told AAP on Tuesday.

Temperatures will progressively rise in the second half of the week, with Saturday and Sunday expected to reach 17 degrees in Melbourne.
