Our area will remain affected by unstable northern barrier effects on Wednesday. Not only will we see more snow showers, mostly light, but also freezing winter air masses. The showers will remain concentrated on the northern edge of the Alps. They will become less frequent towards the south, and the clouds may break up in places along the main Alpine ridge. The northern flow will be under high pressure on Thursday. The remaining high fog-like clouds will dissipate during the morning, and bright sunshine will prevail from the mountains. However, the wintry cold will continue to prevail despite the sunshine. After a clear night, we will start Friday morning in bitter cold. Although there will be a marked reduction in frost in the mountains with bright sunshine, this will not be felt in the valleys for the moment. It will not be until Saturday that the milder weather will also prevail in the valleys. At the same time, extensive cloud fields will move in front of the sun. Sunday will also be relatively changeable and mild. Precipitation is not expected.
