SnowBrains Forecast: Light 5-15 cm Refresh Then Mostly Dry in the European Alps - SnowBrains
"The northern and eastern Alps are favored for around 5-15 cm of snow, while most western and southern sectors stay closer to 1-5 cm. Confidence is highest from Tuesday afternoon through Monday night, when snowfall timing is fairly clear."
"Timing is tightest for the northern and eastern Alps, where the snow turns on this afternoon, continues tonight, and fades Wednesday into early Thursday. Intensity stays modest, but the Austrian side and nearby Swiss border terrain should come away with the best refresh."
"After the midweek refresh, snowfall shuts down for most of the Alps and weather impacts become more about the spring melt-freeze cycle than new accumulation. Higher elevations should still refreeze well overnight, but many mid and lower slopes will soften by late morning."
A weak midweek disturbance is expected to bring 5-15 cm of snow to the northern and eastern Alps, while western and southern areas may see 1-5 cm. The best snowfall occurs from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday, with the Austrian side and Swiss border receiving the most accumulation. After this, a dry pattern sets in, with temperatures rising and affecting the spring melt-freeze cycle. Higher elevations will refreeze overnight, but lower slopes will become slushy as temperatures exceed freezing during the day.
