Weather: almost all of the country placed on alert by MRI, already quite a lot of snow in places, "snowfall can become more intense"
While the snow already covers part of the province of Luxembourg and Liège, as evidenced by the photo sent this Friday by Romain, a faithful reader, via our button alert us, it will be more substantial on the summits of the Ardennes, according to forecasts from the Royal Meteorological Institute (MRI)."Today, we are planning showers, which in the Ardennes above 400-500 m, will be the cause of a layer of snow of 2 to 5 cm.Tonight, snowfall on the south of the Ardennes as well as in Belgian Lorraine will be able to become more intense so that an additional snow layer of several centimeters is to be considered, "writes the MRI on its website.
Forecasts that push MRI to place almost all of the country, with the exception of the rating, on yellow alert to slippery conditions.
Over the northern half of the country, MRI provides for more dry periods.The maxima will be between 0 and 3 degrees in the Ardennes, around 4 or 5 degrees on the Condroz, around 6 or 7 degrees in the plain.The southwest wind will be moderate to fairly strong with gusts around 50 km/ h, or even a little more under an intense downpour.
At the coast, it will blow fairly strong enough, from the western sector, with gusts around 60 km/ h.
