National weather service Meteolux has issued a yellow-level wind warning for much of Friday, with wind speeds of between 70 and 80km/h expected throughout the country, which could reach up to 90km/h in some areas.
The warning has been issued for between 02:00 and 17:00.
After a rainy and windy start to the day, precipitation is expected to gradually change to snow during the afternoon, leading to a new snow warning for Friday being “very likely”, according to Meteolux.
Light snowfall on Thursday
Only isolated, light snowfall is to be expected on Thursday, with sleet also possible, Meteolux said. The weather service said drivers should beware of locally slippery roads.
As the day progresses, temperatures and the amount of precipitation will increase slightly, leading to more snow in the north and mainly rain in the south.
The weekend and the start of next week will continue to bring a mix of snow and rain, according to Meteolux. Temperatures are expected to vary between just below and above freezing, depending on location and time of day.
