A real pea mash has fallen on the south of the Loire. A thick fog which could have transformed into freezing fog in places such as Andrézieux-Bouthéon or Montbrison as the weather announcement42.
“We are dealing with a classic phenomenon during winter. Anticyclonic conditions favor the appearance of fog below 600 meters altitude. This is why fog should be more frequent in the Loire than in Haute-Loire. The sky should clear up more quickly,” explains Stéphane Nedeljkovitch, MétéoNews forecaster.
Negative temperatures until Monday
Negative temperatures should therefore favor the appearance of mist in the morning throughout the weekend. This Saturday at 7 a.m., we recorded -5°C in Saint-Etienne, -2.5°C in Feurs and Roanne, -8°C in Puy-en-Velay and -6°C in Yssingeaux. Maximum temperatures are expected to reach between 5 and 8°C in places for Saturday. The warm weather will begin to be felt this Sunday morning. We predict -1°C in Yssingeaux, Montbrison, Roanne and 0°C in Saint-Étienne and Puy-en-Velay.
“Overall, the two departments will return to positive temperatures this Monday, January 20,” announces Stéphane Nedeljkovitch.
-“Mid-week disruption”
Be careful, however, to make the most of the sun this weekend. Winds from the south should bring rain to our two departments. “Disruptions should be expected mid-week. We could even have a small Cévennes episode on the border between Haute-Loire and Ardèche,” warns the MeteoNews expert.
