The weather on Thursday January 2 is very unsettled. Rain on the plain, and snow on the heights, accompanied by strong gusts of wind. Traffic conditions are difficult at the Col de la Schlucht, in Haut-Rhin, for example, but also at Champ du Feu in Bas-Rhin. Snow falls on Alsace Bossue.

Caution is recommended in passes and stations. interventions by CEA teams are underway.

At Markstein, where temperatures returned to negative temperatures at the end of the morning this Thursday after a milder night, gusts of more than 130 km/h were measured this morning.
A fairly significant mild spell should nevertheless be observed this weekend.
