Current situation and outlook
A trough with a center west of the coast of northern France is dominating the weather. A cold front with little precipitation will cross the eastern Alps today. On the western southern side of the Alps, however, heavy accumulation precipitation will set in as the flow turns more and more to the SW due to the slowly southward sliding trough. The Azores High to the west of the trough will tilt its axis into an oblique position by tomorrow and completely cut off the trough. As a result, it will wobble around over the Iberian Peninsula.
This means that the southern side of the Western Alps will continue to experience heavy accumulation precipitation. More details can be found in the current alert. The oracle will probably make a statement again tomorrow, as the precipitation will continue for the time being.
In the north-east, on the other hand, it will remain quite spring-like except for the short interruption today (Wednesday), partly with south föhn. In the west, and especially on the south side, the next few days will be persistently wet and cloudy, while in the east there will be plenty of spring fever. From today's perspective, the weekend looks unsettled in both the west and the east: the decisive factor will remain the trough that continues to push disturbances fed by warm, humid air towards the Alps.
