weather conditions
In recent days, a low pressure system over Austria has been determining the weather in Switzerland. Today, this low pressure system moved north! but the moist, unstable air mass remained behind. Tomorrow, Tuesday, a low pressure system will establish! itself over central Italy, which bears the name “Minerva”. Switzerland lies between this low pressure! system and a high pressure system centered over Ireland. The pressure gradient between these pressure centers! will increase over the course of the day, and the moisture will be accumulated! from the northeast on the northern slopes of the Alps.
At the same time, a low pressure system over Scandinavia! is bringing a cold front from the northwest to Switzerland in the lower air layers. This means that the weather will cool down overnight into Wednesday. Over the course of Wednesday, the influence of the high pressure system will increase and lead to a stabilization and drying of the air mass.

snow line
To begin with, we are still in a mild air mass and the snow line is germany cell number high at 1800 to 2000 meters. As the cold air seeps in from the northwest, the snow line will drop to 1000 to 1400 meters from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning. Due to the cooling of precipitation, there may also be snow in the eastern Alpine valleys at lower altitudes on Wednesday morning. The criteria for a level 2 snow warning may be met for Wednesday morning. However, it is still a little too early to issue such a warning, so the decision will be made tomorrow, Tuesday.
