Winter Weather Continues: Ice and Snow at the Start of the Week

On Monday, the sky is often overcast, except for a few clearings in the east and southeast, and precipitation is expected, especially from northern Vorarlberg to the northern Waldviertel. Initially, it is often snowfall, which quickly turns into rain.

There is a localized risk of black ice due to freezing rain. In the afternoon, precipitation begins in the southwest. The snow line rises to 800 to 1,400 meters above sea level. The wind is weak to moderate, along the northern side of the Alps partly brisk to strong, from southeast to west. Early morning temperatures range from minus eleven to plus two degrees, in the afternoon from minus one to plus eight degrees, with the highest values in the west and at mid-altitudes.

On Tuesday, the sky is overcast and precipitation is expected at times, which can last longer especially in the south, but also in some northern stau areas. In the afternoon, however, it is often already dry in the northeast. The snow line fluctuates between 400 and 1,500 meters above sea level, with it being highest in the southeast. The wind blows weak to moderate from southwest to north. Early temperatures range between minus four and plus three degrees, afternoon temperatures between zero and plus six degrees.

Disturbance Influence on Wednesday

Disturbance influence and quite cold air masses bring frequent snowfall on Wednesday, especially on the northern side of the Alps as well as in the north and northeast, with sleet or rain in low areas below about 300 m above sea level. Precipitation slowly subsides only towards the evening and at night. The south is likely to be favored by the weather, but details in the exact weather pattern are still uncertain. The wind often blows moderately to briskly from west to northwest at the eastern edge of the Alps. In the morning, minus seven to plus two degrees are expected, with daytime highs of zero to plus five degrees.

On Thursday, numerous low, fog-like residual clouds initially persist on the northern side of the Alps, in the north and northeast. Occasionally, there may also be a few snowflakes in the mountains. However, during the day, it gradually clears from the west, and the sun prevails in many regions. Generally favored by the weather and mostly sunny is the south and southeast. The wind is usually only weak, only in the east still moderate from northwest, with early temperatures from minus ten to zero and daytime highs from zero to plus five degrees.

Sun on Friday

On Friday, the sun shines in many regions with high-pressure influence, and significantly milder air masses are brought in from the west at higher altitudes. However, fog and high fog can be very persistent over the lowlands in the north, partly inner-alpine, and in basin areas in the south. The wind is usually only weak. Early temperatures will range from minus 13 to minus one degree, with daytime highs from minus two to plus six degrees, with the higher values at mid-altitudes.
