The next few days also promise varied weather, with the passage of fronts and mild temperatures.

Sunshine and changing clouds in the Eastern Alps
On Sunday, the sun will prevail in large parts of Austria. Uninterrupted sunshine can be expected in many places, especially in the morning hours. In the northern Alps (Alpine region in Austria), however, there will still be some residual clouds, which may also bring light rain in isolated cases. In some areas, the day will also begin with some fog, but this will usually clear quickly.
Clouds in the west in the evening
While it will remain mainly sunny in the morning, some shallow spring clouds will form in the east and south during the day. In the evening, denser clouds will gather in the west, but no precipitation is expected. The wind will blow moderately, sometimes briskly in the east, from northwest to north. Temperatures on Sunday morning will be between 3 and 10 degrees Celsius. During the day, highs will reach a pleasant 12 to 17 degrees Celsius.

A warm front approaches Austria
On Monday, a warm front will move across Austria from the west. This will initially bring high cloud cover, while many valleys and basins (e.g. the Inn Valley in Tyrol or the Vienna Basin) may still be covered in fog or high fog well into the morning. In the west, especially from Vorarlberg to the Salzkammergut, as well as in the Waldviertel (region in northern Lower Austria), there may be light and mostly short showers during the course of the day. However, the rain will mostly be light. In between, the sun will appear again and again throughout Austria. The wind will mostly blow moderately from easterly to southerly directions. Early temperatures will be between 1 and 10 degrees Celsius, in inner Alpine regions it may even be slightly frosty. Highs during the day will range from 13 to 17 degrees Celsius; in some locations (e.g., in Tyrol), it can reach up to 21 degrees locally.

Another warm front reaches the west on Tuesday
On Tuesday, the intermediate high pressure in the eastern Alps will weaken and another warm front will approach the west and north. Dense cloud cover and light rain showers are to be expected there as early as the morning, especially between Vorarlberg and the Waldviertel. In the south and east, however, it will remain mainly sunny during the day. The wind will freshen up, sometimes strongly, and come from southerly to easterly directions. Temperatures in the morning will range between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius, while during the day they will reach 12 to 21 degrees, depending on the region and the duration of sunshine.
