Between a high-pressure system centered over the North Sea and an extensive low-pressure zone over Italy and the Balkans, moist and cold air will flow into the Alpine region on Friday. Under the influence of the low pressure, it will remain mostly overcast during the day with showery rain. Snow will fall down to below 1500 meters above sea level, making higher valleys appear early-winter white. On Saturday, the air pressure will rise, and it will gradually become drier. The last showers of rain or snow will mostly dissipate by the morning. In the afternoon, the chances for sunny breaks will increase. The coldest temperatures will gradually be behind us. On Sunday, the sun will have an easier time from the start. The rising temperatures at higher altitudes will be accompanied by passing cloud fields. At the start of the new week, a foehn-like south wind will blow, with further rising temperatures. If the weather maps are correct, the next deterioration in weather will probably soon approach.
