That’s what it’s regarding
Temperatures will drop in Switzerland towards the weekend.
There will be a lot of fresh snow in the mountains on Saturday and Sunday.
The snowfall limit drops to 500 meters.
An intermediate high will give us plenty of sunshine above the high fog line on Thursday. The temperatures are between six and nine degrees. It is very mild, especially in the mountains. The zero degree limit is 4000 meters. The cloud cover will increase on Friday night and it will also be heavily cloudy throughout the day, with a few showers possible. The snowfall limit is 1200 meters and will fall as the day progresses.
Towards the evening a second cold front follows, bringing us significantly colder air. The snowfall line drops below 1000 meters in the evening, as MeteoNews writes. On Saturday, new waves of moist and cold polar air will follow, which will build up along the Alps. Here Saturday is cloudy and wintry, with snow falling all the way to the valley floor.
The federal government warns of amounts of snow
A significant increase in fresh snow is expected in the mountains. A few snow showers are also possible in the lowlands. The snowfall limit drops to 500 meters. From Friday to Sunday midday, up to half a meter of fresh snow will fall on the mountains in the north, with up to one meter possible in some regions.
Because of the heavy snowfall, the federal government has increased the danger level for some regions. The areas affected are Einsiedeln-Wägital, Glarus, Kerenzerberg-Seeztal, Muotathal, Sarganserland and Werdenberg. The warning applies from Friday 3 p.m. to Sunday 3 p.m. The federal government warns of restrictions on road, rail and air traffic.
On Sunday itself, however, an intermediate high extends from the west towards Switzerland, the snow showers retreat to the eastern northern slope of the Alps and also subside here during the day. The clouds are clearing up.
