On Sunday, a warm front will hit the Alpine Republic, whose precipitation will locally cause a high risk of black ice on the cold ground. The warm front will then be replaced by a cold front on Tuesday. The temperatures will be particularly cold in the morning.

Low Temperatures

On Friday, north of the main Alpine ridge, the clouds will dominate and there will be occasional, rather sparse snow showers. Only in the afternoon will the cloud cover break up a little in some areas. In the rest of Austria, it will be largely dry from the morning onwards and often sunny in the southern parts of the country. In the north and east, sunny weather will only prevail later in the day. Early temperatures range from minus six to zero degrees, with daytime highs of minus one to plus five degrees.

On Saturday, the last remnants of the disturbance in the northeast and east will dissipate during the morning. In the west and south, sunshine will dominate from the start, with high-lying cloud fields appearing again in Vorarlberg in the late afternoon. By the evening, the cloud fields will move further eastwards into the Vienna Basin, gradually dimming the sun. The early temperatures will reach frosty minus eleven to zero degrees, with daytime highs of minus two to plus five degrees.

Higher Snowfall Limit

Sunday: A warm front will bring dense clouds to many places. North of the main Alpine ridge, rain will spread and only in the north will there initially be snow. Locally, there is a risk of black ice due to the rain falling on the still cold ground. The snowfall limit will quickly rise to over 2,000 meters. It will remain dry in the south and southeast. The early temperatures will again be very frosty at minus twelve to minus one degree, with daytime highs then climbing to minus one to plus seven degrees.

On Monday, clouds will pile up south of the main Alpine ridge and it will rain from time to time. In the west, north and southeast, clouds will pass through again and again and there will be intermittent sunshine, which is dimmed by high clouds. In the east, there will be stubborn fog fields in the lowlands and basins. The wind will blow weakly to moderately, lively to strong on the foehn side of the Alps and in the southeast. The lowest temperatures: minus seven to plus five degrees, daytime highs depending on fog, sun and altitude: two to 15 degrees.

Weather on Tuesday

On Tuesday, a cold front will bring dense clouds across the country and initially widespread rain. During the day, the snowfall limit will drop from the northwest to 300 to 700 meters and the rain will increasingly turn into sleet and snowfall. The temperatures in the morning will be between minus one and plus five degrees, with the highest temperatures between two and eleven degrees. However, with the arrival of the cold air in the evening, they will drop again to minus two to plus four degrees.
