Most snowfall
The weather remains unsettled this week with wind, rain and lots of snow at altitude for the Western Alps.
The weather will be very changeable in the coming week, and below 2000 meters, we won't escape a few phases of rain.
The days of strong high-pressure influence are coming to an end. In the new year, we will start a changeable phase.
The stable high-pressure weather will remain for a few more days, after which winter may return, but nothing is certain yet.
It will certainly remain stable high-pressure weather up to and including New Year's Day, after which there will be some more activity in the atmosphere.

PA#2 is approaching! Lots of snow will fall in the northwestern Alps! We take a closer look at the new model runs.
