Snow starting this week in the Ardennes ? This is what our phone suggests this Monday, November 18, 2024. Provided by Apple Weather, these weather forecasts predict snowflakes on Thursday and Friday, with a probability of 55 and 40%, at Charleville-Mézières.
Chez Météo-Franceon the other hand, no trace of snow for the Ardennes this week. Forecasters are calling for snow mid-week but the flakes should not concern us. We will first be entitled to two days of rain and wind. The Ardennes are also one of the departments placed on yellow alert tomorrow.
Snow showers are expected further down in Chaumont, Belfort and Auxerre on Thursday, and towards Strasbourg on Friday. The Alps will be very well served. “ The disturbance reactivates this Tuesday », note Météo-France. « The rains are expected to be heavy over a very large part of the north-east of France. Snow is expected to be plentiful in the Alps after an autumn that had so far had very little snow, with 20 to 50 centimeters expected above 2,000m. ».
The cause is the return of colder air, what meteorologists call a low pressure current which, on contact with milder air, will cause this precipitation.
Don't get excited: you have to refine
On the Weather Channel finally, the snowflakes are back! They are announced from Thursday morning with a felt temperature of -3 degrees. The risk of snow remains throughout the day (40% reliability). Rebelote on Friday, according to this source, with a felt temperature of -5 under the effect of the wind and a risk of snow only in the morning.
And the Weather Channel goes further: according to her, Charleville-Mézières should experience light snowfall (90% reliability) on Saturday morning, and mixed snow and rain in the afternoon.
Not enough to make a snowman, however, since this precipitation – if confirmed – is unlikely to last. Because above all, these forecasts contain a good dose of uncertainty and will have to be refined in the coming hours.
What is certain is that it will sting in the early morning. Get covered!
