Weather report

The high-pressure system driving the weather is now slowly retreating toward southeastern Europe. Caught between this high-pressure system and intensifying low-pressure activity over Western Europe, the Alps are entering a somewhat more variable southwesterly flow. This will often result in mild southerly foehn effects, meaning that weather conditions around the main Alpine ridge may be slightly more unsettled overall than along the northern edge of the Alps. Nevertheless, largely dry weather will continue through Tuesday afternoon. However, atmospheric instability will then increase significantly, making the first showers increasingly likely as Tuesday evening approaches. From Wednesday into Thursday, the southwesterly flow will generally come under the temporary influence of a low-pressure system, leading to widespread and at times heavy precipitation, with the snow line briefly dropping below 2,000 meters above sea level again. However, the weather will begin to improve again as Thursday progresses, and temperatures will rise significantly in the days that follow.
