However, the early morning hours will be very frosty with temperatures down to minus 15 degrees.

Sunny and Dry Weather

On Friday, remnants of a nocturnal cold front will quickly move eastward. During the first hours, however, the last snow showers can still fall on the northern edge of the Alps. After the disturbance has passed, sunny and dry weather will prevail. However, in the afternoon, the first clouds of the next disturbance will reach Austria from the west. By evening, snowfall is expected to begin in Tyrol and Vorarlberg. The early temperatures range from minus seven to plus four degrees, the maximum daytime temperatures from zero to six degrees.

North of the main Alpine ridge as well as in the north and east, dense clouds will pass through until Saturday evening. On the northern edge of the Alps between Salzburg and the Mostviertel, short snow showers are also to be expected. In the west and south of Austria, however, the weather will be sunny and dry all day. The early temperatures range from minus nine to zero degrees, and even lower in snow-covered Alpine valleys. The maximum daytime temperatures are reached with minus two to plus five degrees.

On the Edge of a High Pressure Area

On Sunday, Austria will be on the edge of a high pressure area, making the day predominantly dry and very sunny in some parts of the country. Only on the north side of the Alps, especially in Upper and Lower Austria, lower residual clouds from the night will provide subdued sunshine and occasional light snow showers in the morning and mid-morning hours. The early temperatures are mostly between minus ten and minus one degree, and even below minus 15 degrees in snow-covered Alpine valleys. The maximum daytime temperatures range between minus four and plus three degrees.

On Monday, it will be brilliantly sunny all day in the west and south, while in the eastern half of Austria and in the north, some low cloud fields will also pass through, especially in the mountainous regions of Upper and Lower Austria, it may occasionally snow lightly and unproductively. From noon, however, the sun will also shine in these regions. Early temperatures: minus 15 to minus one degree, in places in snow-covered valleys even lower, maximum daytime temperatures: minus four to plus two degrees.

Mostly Dry

During the course of Tuesday, compact high-level cloud fields of an approaching warm front will gradually move across the country. In the south, it will therefore still be mostly very sunny, while in the north, the sun will noticeably be subdued from noon onwards. However, it will remain mostly dry. The early temperatures range from minus 14 degrees in the inner Alpine region to minus three degrees in the eastern lowlands, the maximum daytime temperatures from minus two to plus six degrees.
