At the beginning of the week, the Alps are situated between a low-pressure system over the Mediterranean region and a high-pressure system near the British Isles, resulting in a lively easterly flow. The early winter cold temperatures can thus maintain their hold until mid-week. However, from Tuesday onwards, the air itself will become significantly drier, transforming the multi-layered cloud cover into a high fog layer. This increases the likelihood of sunny weather periods, especially in mountainous areas. In the lower-lying valleys, however, it may remain gloomy for a longer period. The friendly weather trend continues on Wednesday, especially as the high-pressure system increasingly settles over Central Europe. The associated fair weather can persist into Thursday. Towards Friday, the high-pressure system will be located southeast of us, bringing us into a foehn-influenced southerly flow. This will make it significantly milder. The mild, foehn-influenced southerly flow continues into Saturday before a weak cold front approaches.
