The desperate search for a 67-year-old grandmother who went on a late-night walk three days ago has resumed, amid fears she was left isolated during lockdown.

Susan Shaw was last seen by police about 4km up Mount Donna Buang Road in the Yarra Valley, east of Melbourne, at 1.40am on Friday.

When officers asked if she was alright, the outdoors enthusiast insisted she was just out for a walk up the mountain.

Search efforts by more than 100 people over the weekend were hampered by wet weather, limiting visibility in dense terrain.

But police scouring the area on Monday remain hopeful with forecasters predicting warm weather with clear skies.

Ms Shaw's son Kane Cashmore said his mother went missing after having dinner with her grandchildren at 5pm on Thursday.

'I was making sure she was having dinner because she hadn't been eating properly. She'd been isolating herself a bit too much lately,' he told 7 News.

'I thought she'd just go to sleep because of the amount of energy she would of spent that day.'

Mr Cashmore said his mother found it hard to cope with Victoria's strict stage four lockdown, which ended last month, and had become disconnected from friends. 

Police said it is out of character for Ms Shaw to disappear, and revealed she did not take her phone with her.

She was wearing jeans, a green cardigan and bright pink boots when she went missing. 

Senior sergeant Paul Anderson said the grandmother was an 'outdoors person,' but holds grave concerns over the recent hot weather and terrain of the bush. 

'We're just asking for anybody who is out and about in the Warburton area, the Mount Donna Buang area, to just keep a lookout for Susan,' he said.

Anyone who has seen Ms Shaw or has further information is urged to call Warburton Police Station.
