After being placed on alert for risks linked to ice, the country is now on yellow alert for flooding. And may turn orange during the day.
After the episode of freezing rain during the night from Saturday to Sunday, the roads are still slippery this Sunday morning, indicates MeteoLux. Caution while driving is therefore still required and the warnings given the day before during the meeting of a government crisis unit still remain relevant: “Citizens (must) be vigilant when traveling, facilitate the passage of snow removal machines on roads and highways, by parking their vehicles outside the traffic lanes”, without forgetting “to protect themselves from falls”.
However, following these rains and those expected again this Sunday, the water level has risen and will continue to increase until Monday, 8 p.m. The flood forecast service moved to yellow alert level this Sunday morning. Water levels on the Sûre will rise in the area of the “orange vigilance rating” and exceeding this cannot be ruled out at present, he indicates. Further south, on the Alzette, you should expect the “orange vigilance rating” to be exceeded in the afternoon or evening. Only the Moselle is, for the moment, not affected by a risk of flooding.
