Föhn Brings Us Mild Weekend

The Föhn wind will cause particularly mild temperatures of up to 14 degrees in the mountains over the weekend. However, in the lowlands where fog is widespread, only five degrees are expected according to the forecast of the experts from Geosphere Austria.
Occasional Risk of Slipperiness on Friday
Partly sunny, partly cloudy in different layers, that's how Friday will be. The thickest clouds are initially in the north and northeast with a warm front, where it can also rain temporarily. There is an occasional short-term risk of slipperiness. Small-scale fog fields in the southeast or in some Alpine valleys are expected to clear up after a few hours. In the afternoon, the weather is predominantly friendly. In the lowlands and valley locations, it is often weakly windy. Early temperatures are between minus four and plus three degrees, the maximum daytime temperatures are between three and 13 degrees.
Mild Weekend Thanks to Föhn
On Saturday, there are partly stubborn fog and high fog fields over the valleys and lowlands, but apart from the eastern flatlands, these usually dissolve during the day. The wind blows lively in individual Föhn valleys, everywhere else weak to moderate. The early temperatures range from minus five to plus five degrees, the maximum daytime temperatures in fog are only one to five degrees, otherwise with Föhn up to 14 degrees.
Sunday: The day starts with stubborn fog and high fog fields in the lowlands and basins of the east, north, and south, which only reluctantly or hardly dissolve. Otherwise, the sun shines in many regions in the morning. The west is already influenced by an approaching disturbance in the early morning. Clouds and rain spread eastwards during the day. The wind is mostly weak, on the north side of the Alps there is a moderate to lively foehn wind from southern directions. The early temperatures reach minus four to plus four degrees, the maximum daily temperatures five to twelve degrees.
Persistent Fog from Monday in Northern and Eastern Austria
On Monday, dense clouds with some rain and snowfall pile up on the south side of the Alps. On the north side of the Alps, the clouds are dissolved by the foehn wind. In the north and east of the country, stubborn fog fields persist partly all day. In foehn areas, the south wind blows lively to strong. In the east, however, there is a moderate to lively southeast wind. Early temperatures: minus three to plus three, maximum daily temperatures: six to 14 degrees.
Many clouds move across the country during the course of Tuesday, with the sun only occasionally showing in the eastern half. In the very east, there may still be some fog fields in the lowlands at first, which dissolve during the day. In the west and south, it rains partly all day. The wind in the flatlands is only weak from the west, otherwise moderate to lively from southern directions. In the typical foehn areas, the wind blows partly strong. The early temperatures are at minus two to plus five degrees, the maximum daily temperatures at five to 13 degrees.
