Current situation and outlook
As already suspected last week, an Atlantic block will be relevant for further developments, which is becoming increasingly apparent in the models. Currently, events in the Atlantic are still of secondary importance for the weather forecast, but this will change over the next few days. At the moment, the Alps are located in a high that stretches from the eastern Mediterranean to northern Germany. This area is flanked by a low over Spain and a larger low pressure zone in the east. Our high pressure system will bring plenty of sunshine almost everywhere today (Wednesday).
However, it will become increasingly foehn-like due to the influence of the Spanish low. On the northern slopes of the Alps, it will be somewhat warmer than recently. In the far southwest, accumulating precipitation is likely to start this evening. This development will continue on Thursday: Föhn in the north, cloudy and wet in the south. In the western Alps, the precipitation is likely to spread, while in the east it will remain dry for longer on the north side.
