After a Friday characterized by wintry conditions, the weather will be milder in the coming days. Sunshine and strong winds will dominate, especially on Sunday. It will remain mostly sunny with scattered patches of fog until Tuesday. Then rain showers will move across the country, reported Geosphere Austria.
The dense clouds of the night will slowly clear on Friday morning, and the last snow showers will temporarily subside in the west. In the afternoon, it will be sunny in many parts of the country; only in the west will the clouds persist, and snow showers will fall again. The wind will blow moderately to briskly in the Vienna Basin and northern Burgenland and strongly from west to northwest. The lowest temperatures will be between minus seven and plus two degrees, with daytime highs reaching minus two to plus four degrees.
Brisk winds on Saturday too
Under rising air pressure, sunny weather will prevail on Saturdays in many parts of the country. Only in the northern foothills of the Alps will dense clouds persist longer, and it will also snow there sometimes. The wind will often be brisk in the north and east in exposed locations, occasionally strong and stormy, from a mostly westerly direction. Early temperatures will range from minus eight degrees in the south to plus one degree in the eastern parts of the country. Daytime highs will be between minus one and plus seven degrees.
Sunny skies will predominate under high pressure on Sunday, although high and medium-high cloud fields will noticeably dampen the sunshine. Morning fog patches will usually only last for a short time. In the valleys along the main Alpine ridge, the wind will often be foehn-like, but everywhere else, it will be rather weak to moderate from mostly southerly directions. Early temperatures will be between minus eight and minus one degree Celsius, daytime highs will reach three to twelve degrees Celsius, and mild due to the foehn wind, especially at medium altitudes.
Rain is expected on Tuesday
In the typical foggy regions in the lowlands of the north and east, some fog will persist until after midday on Monday. Away from this, the day will often be sunny, with high-lying veil clouds hardly disturbing. Extensive clouds will gather from the west in the afternoon, but it should remain largely dry until the evening. The wind will blow mostly weakly to moderately from different directions. Early temperatures will range from minus six to plus four degrees. Daytime highs will reach between four and 13 degrees, with the mildest temperatures in the west.
The next disturbance zone will arrive from the northwest on Tuesday. Before then, there will still be a few patches of fog and high fog, especially over the lowlands, with the last sunshine windows towards the southeast. However, compact clouds and rain showers will quickly spread, with most precipitation expected in the northern Alps and later in the country’s south. The snow line in the northern Alps will drop to around 1,200 meters above sea level by the evening, while it will remain even higher in the south. The wind will be weak, partly moderate from the west to the north. Early temperatures will range from minus four to plus four degrees, with daytime highs of five to eleven degrees.
