The snowfall that fell over northern Götaland and Svealand on Sunday is heading north, and SMHI has issued a snow warning for the southern Norrland coast.
During Monday afternoon, the snow area is expected to reach the northernmost parts of the country, while precipitation will gradually decrease.
– During the night and Monday, the area will continue north, and will mainly affect Norrland during Monday. The heaviest precipitation will be along the southern Norrland coast, where we have issued a snow warning, says Lovisa Andersson, meteorologist at SMHI.
Around five to eight centimeters are expected to fall in the area during the night and morning.
Götaland and Svealand may also receive local snow showers, but the weather will mainly be cloud-dominated with a chance of easing.
Temperature-wise, it's still winter cold across the entire map.
– Cold air continues to dominate – generally below zero degrees, possibly with the exception of the southern coastal strip. Götaland will get between minus 3 and plus 1 degrees, and Svealand between 0 and minus 5 degrees. In Norrland it will be around minus 10 even in the middle of the day – locally it can drop to minus 20, says Andersson.
She advises road users to take it easy on the roads in the snow-affected areas.
– There will be no exceptional slippage, but during ongoing snowfall you should always proceed with caution, she says.
