It can come to a complete stop. Heavy snowfall has also been reported in several places in the country.

A strong low pressure will come in from the west, bringing with it both some precipitation and wind. Initially, there will be warm air, explains the meteorologist. So there will initially be some rain, also high up in the mountains, but then there will be an abrupt transition into the evening where there will be cooler air, and sleet and snow on the night to Monday. – And in addition, there will be very strong winds. It increases to a southerly stiff and strong gale. And then there will be a westerly wind towards evening. Then you will also notice it more inland, so to speak. Borander emphasizes that you must be prepared for the possibility of slippery roads, but says that they have not yet sent out a danger warning for ice.

That’s probably smart. In addition to the orange level for avalanche danger, there is a yellow warning for heavy rain in parts of Vestland south of Stad. There is also a yellow danger warning for the risk of landslides, mudslides and flash floods in the central and inner regions of Western Norway. A good number of danger warnings in the north There may be a lot of snow in southern parts of Nordland, says Borander. And there will be a lot of wind northwards from Nord-Trøndelag up to Troms and Finnmark. There may also be snow flurries there. – So here there are several people who have to be prepared for stormy weather at the end of the weekend and the start of next week. So in any case, it is important to check both road and weather reports, and drive according to the conditions. There is a yellow warning for strong gusts of wind in parts of Nordland, and parts of Troms and Vest-Finnmark. In addition, there is a yellow warning for snow in the inner and middle areas of Helgeland and the north of Trøndelag. Both for parts of Nordland, Trøndelag, Møre and Romsdal and Vestland, precipitation will fluctuate. – It will be the wettest and warmest in Western Norway. And then it won’t be as hot for Trøndelag and the south of Nordland. But there, too, it can be slippery for periods, before there is more snow again.
