In addition, the snow cover will be very unstable in Savoie. The snow will be wet, fresh, and spontaneous snow slides may occur. At the same time, variations in temperature and weather could accelerate the melting of the snow, and the surrounding watercourses could react downstream, causing potential flooding. This yellow alert will be taken into consideration until midnight this evening.
