Predictability and uncertainties
At the end of Saturday afternoon, a disturbance will move up from the southwest towards the north and northeast and will be associated with a strong mild spell. There are strong uncertainties about the nature of precipitation before this warm spell: light snowfall, temporary episode of freezing rain or on frozen ground or only rain in liquid form.
If an episode of freezing rain were confirmed, a worsening of the level of vigilance would be possible, in particular in Île-de-France and the departments north of the Seine.
The light to moderate frosts at dawn will gradually fade under a sky where the clouds will increasingly oppose the sun.
Wind: weak from east to southeast then becoming noticeable near the northern coast.
Temperatures forecast tomorrow morning: below normal for early winter, -3 to 0 degrees from the south of the region to the coast.
Forecast for Saturday, January 4 in the morning

The clouds will continue to obscure the sky at the expense of clearings.
Rain will become widespread between the end of the afternoon and early evening in the southwest of the region. They may first be temporarily icy to the east of Normandy before the mild weather, or even snowy in Seine-Maritime, then will continue without road risks for the rest of the night.
Wind: southeast, sensitive near the coast, weak inland.
Forecast temperatures: below averages for early January, 2 to 4 degrees.
