Forecast update: 11 April 2011

The exceptionally warm spell is coming to an end as a cold front introduces more seasonable temperatures across the Alps. There will be a little snow too, chiefly in the north-east.

On Tuesday, it will be cloudy across the northern Alps with showers or longer spells of rain, and some snow above 2200m, falling to 1500m or lower later. The snow will be light in the northern French and western Swiss Alps, but some more significant falls are possible (at altitude) further east.

Southern Alpine regions will remain mostly dry with sunny spells but it will feel much colder than of late everywhere. On Wednesday, the western and southern Alps will be mostly sunny, but a few showers may continue across Austria (snow above 1000m), and it will continue on the cool side.

On Thursday and Friday, the weather forecast is still very uncertain, but a mixture of sunny spells and showers is likely, with some snow above 1200-1600m.
