Storm starting Saturday in the mountains

In the mountains, from Saturday to Monday, our department will be hit by a snowstorm.

“The episode that we will experience between Saturday and Monday is the kind of snowy episode that we observe every 5 years. In terms of intensity, we are at a high level. Realize that in terms of intensity, in two and a half days, certain sectors of the Pyrenees will start with 0 cm of snow and will accumulate 2 meters. It's monstrous. In 72 hours, certain sectors will accumulate as much snow as fell in an entire winter in Ariège in 2023-2024. With the wind, we will be able to record snowdrifts of 2 to 3 meters,” explained Christophe Dedieu, from the site Weather Pyreneesjoined by Toulouse News.

In Haute-Garonne, snow will accumulate on Sunday or Monday when the wind turns due north. One meter of snow will be reached at 2000 meters altitude.

Wind gusts up to 150 km/h

The rain and snow limit could even drop to 500 meters in altitude per sequence.

In the mountains, gusts between 100 km/h and 150 km/h are forecast.
