Already for Sunday, a yellow warning has been issued for strong wind and heavy snow showers in Norrbotten’s and northern Västerbotten’s mountain areas.
For Monday, SMHI has both tightened and extended the warning. An orange warning then applies for Norrbottensfjällen, where storms and snowfall are locally expected during the night and morning.
A yellow warning for very strong winds is issued for the Jämtlands and Västerbottensfjällen. A yellow warning for very strong wind gusts also applies to the coast and inland in northern Västerbotten and Norrbotten, with the risk of traffic problems, power outages and damage to forests.
In addition, a yellow warning for gale force winds applies along virtually all coasts.
— Monday will be the worst, but by the New Year’s weekend it looks like it will be significantly calmer in terms of the winds in the mountains, says meteorologist Kjell Lund at SMHI.

Is train traffic affected?
Due to bad weather earlier, during the Christmas week, the passenger train service between Kiruna and Norwegian Narvik has been suspended but is scheduled to resume on Sunday evening. SJ and the Swedish Transport Administration assess that the storm has subsided before the trains pass the area.
– As it looks now, we have no plans to stop any traffic again, says Lina Edström at SJ’s press service.

And the weather on Tuesday, New Year’s Eve?
— Then it’s cold in the north, we’re sure of that. A low pressure quickly passes over Götaland, so it will rain or snow there. It will snow in Sveland. And from January 2, there will be minus temperatures throughout the country, sums up Kjell Lund.
