Above 1400 m, up to 10 cm of fresh snow is expected tomorrow. Snowfall level will descend in the afternoon from 1400 down to 1000 m. In higher altitude ridgeline and summit zones the latest snowfall will be intermittently transported. Small, fresh snowdrift accumulations will be generated.

Weather Synopsis

On Thursday night: nighttime skies will remain dry, but with strong to stormy westerly winds. Friday: Strong to stormy westerly winds, visibility will swiftly alternate, rainfall and snowfall will focus on the northern massifs. In the afternoon, temperatures will drop, the snowfall level descend from 1400 to 1000 m. At 2000 m: -2 to -5 degrees. Strong to stormy westerly winds.
