These “first rains might be freezing since they will fall on ground that is still frozen. The conditions will then be particularly slippery.
This risk of ice mainly concerns the Ardennes where it might last several hours. Elsewhere in the country, ice will also be temporarily possible in places,” said the institute, which extended its yellow alert for slippery conditions until 4 a.m. next night.
At the end of the followingnoon, temperatures will reach values of 0 to +3 degrees in lower and middle Belgium and 0 to -3 degrees in the Ardennes. The wind will generally become moderate and veer from southeast to south.
On the heights of the Ardennes and in the north of the Ardennes, the wind will locally become quite strong with gusts of 50 to 70 km/h. Windy conditions will prevail later tonight with rain and temperatures turning positive across all regions.
