SMHI has issued a yellow warning for sudden ice slippage in the central parts of the country, from Järpen in the west to Sundsvall in the east. On Friday morning, an area of rain moves in from the west across the country, which can cause problems out on the roads.
– There will be freezing rain on the roads which will make it slippery, says TV4 meteorologist Tony Fuentes.
– According to the forecast, there will be snow in the northern part of the country, and rain in the southern part, he continues.
Those who need to go out on the roads are asked to drive carefully and adjust their speed to the road conditions and allow more time for the journey. Public transport can also be affected with the risk of delays or canceled departures.
The warnings are valid until Saturday, when the rain turns to snow. Closest to the coast, it will probably rain during Saturday evening.
