From Saturday afternoon, there will be snow in areas above 200 metres, while Saturday evening and night to Sunday it may also snow in lower areas. – This can cause difficult driving conditions and reduced visibility, the meteorologists warn. Most of the snowpack comes in Troms and Finnmark. It will also be coldest there at the weekend. – Tomorrow there will be a shift to winds from the north-west. Then the wind will probably pick up in stiff gales and short-term strong gales in some places. The north-west brings with it cold air from the north, so it will be significantly colder. This is what meteorologist on duty at the Weather Forecast for Northern Norway, Marek Ratajczak, told news. Yellow danger warning of snowpack for Saturday (screenshot from the meteorologists/Twitter) Photo: Screenshot It will be coldest in Troms and Finnmark. But also in Nordland, and especially on the mountain passes in the north, there is a risk of wind and snow showers, especially from Saturday evening. It gives poor visibility when driving, warns the meteorologist. – The snow line may not reach the coast in Nordland, but further north they can expect sleet showers. And you don’t have to go far up the hill before it snows. In the south of the country, the weather looks much better for the weekend. The meteorologists report good weather in southern Norway this weekend. But the weekend offers even more weather challenges in the north. New danger warning for Sunday: – Very slippery On Sunday there will be a change to milder weather again. – I am currently assessing a new danger warning, and it will be roughly for the same areas that have the snow forecast. But then there will be an ice warning for bad driving conditions, says meteorologist Marek Ratajczak. Now the snow that settled in many places in northern Norway on Saturday will start to melt. – Because then it is the southwest that comes. It brings with it mild air, and there will be a transition to rain and showers. When the rain gets on top of the snow that has settled, it simply becomes very slippery. So it will be a weekend with a lot of varying weather in the north? – It won’t be the best weekend weather-wise. You must be well shod both in terms of snowpack and then slippery roads. Winter is coming? – The transition to winter alternates between cold and warm weather, so let’s hope it will be a more proper winter eventually.
