Today it is snowing at times even in the lowlands. Precipitation will be widespread, especially in the afternoon, sometimes in the form of rain in the lowest altitudes. Even if it doesn’t turn white everywhere, slippery roads can still be expected at times: on the one hand due to slippery snow and on the other hand due to freezing wet conditions during the night. Above 600 to 700 m, wintry road conditions are to be expected.
wind
On Friday, strong northern foehn will rage in the south with gusts of 60 to 100 km/h. In Biasca/TI it even reached 22 degrees. The maximum of the northern foehn is expected on Saturday night. In eastern Switzerland there is a strong westerly wind with gusts of around 60 km/h. In the evening and night of Saturday there will also be some squalls in the central and eastern foothills of the Alps and Alpine valleys as well as in the Upper Valais.
Large amounts of fresh snow
On the central and eastern northern slopes of the Alps, 30 to 70 cm of fresh snow will accumulate by Sunday morning. The danger of avalanches is likely to increase accordingly. Avalanche information can be found here.
And what happens next week?
Unstable and wintry: one depression follows another. There will be strong westerly winds on Tuesday and again on Thursday and Friday. In between there are north and south foehn phases. The air remains cool, so there will be snow at times down to low altitudes.
