The Royal Meteorological Institute issued a yellow alert on Tuesday for slippery conditions over much of Belgium. The provinces of Namur, Liège and Luxembourg will be the most affected.
The winter precipitation expected this followingnoon south of the Sambre and Meuse furrow and this night in all countries, except near the sea, might make the roads slippery by snowfall or patches of ice. A yellow alert for slippery conditions was therefore issued between 4 p.m. Tuesday and 11 a.m. Wednesday for the regions of Namur, Liège and Luxembourg.
The other provinces of the country are only concerned between 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, with the exception of West Flanders and the Coast which should be spared.
Today’s forecast
The wind will blow strong Tuesday morning with gusts of up to 80 km / h in places, especially on the coast. Snow is also expected.
The sky will look gray and let rain and showers escape, predicts the Royal Meteorological Institute (IRM). The followingnoon will give way to drier weather accompanied by some openings in the plain, while south of the Sambre and Meuse furrow, the showers will gradually become wintery with a possible layer of snow of 1 to 3 centimeters above 400 meters above sea level. The thermometer will reach its highest level in the morning, between 5 and 9ºC before a drop in temperatures between 1 and 7ºC in the followingnoon.
The evening will be rather marked by dry weather embellished with beautiful clearings with one or the other last winter showers south of the Sambre and Meuse furrow. These will return from the Coast during the night and may make the roads slippery by falling snow or patches of ice. The minima will be between -3ºC in Hautes-Fagnes, 0 and 1ºC in the center and up to 4ºC on the coast, under a light to moderate wind.
