Current situation, Christmas weather
At the moment, the Alps are still in a mild westerly current with a slight southerly component. At higher altitudes, it is quite windy with partly dense, high cloud cover. The zero boundary is approaching 3000m. Tomorrow, Thursday, a cold front will reach the Alps from the northwest during the course of the day. It will bring much cooler air with it and will bring a very marked change in the Christmas weather. It will probably rain and snow in the northern Alps as early as tomorrow afternoon, and the precipitation is likely to slowly make its way south over the main ridge during the night of Friday (December 24-25). The snow line will fall over time. In the north, it may initially rain at lower altitudes, but gradually the precipitation is likely to change to snow quite widely. Christmas Day will also be cloudy and wet in the north. In the south, it will clear up a little with north föhn.
