Live weather & forecast: Your check for the mountain

We are entering the influence of a new, extensive low-pressure system. Over the next few days, cold air masses of polar origin will repeatedly reach us. As a result, temperatures will remain significantly colder than usual for this time of year, and further precipitation is expected. On Thursday (Ascension Day), rain will fall quite heavily at times and in some areas. Snow will fall in some places down to elevations below 1,500 meters above sea level. Temporary clear spells driven by a southerly foehn wind may occur on the northern side of the Alps before new showers move in on Friday. A low-pressure system is likely to develop over northern Italy on Saturday. Rain is expected again, with snow in higher elevations. The first signs of improvement will not arrive until Sunday, as the Italian low-pressure system slowly moves eastward and air pressure rises. For now, the models do not indicate any significant improvement in the weather.
