Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

From Thursday morning, a snowfall, which will be heavy during the morning, is expected to move in over the Västerbotten coast from the Skellefteå bay down to the Robertsfor area.

– It can cause it in the morning traffic. The heavy snowfall is also enhanced by the fact that it will blow from the sea towards the Västerbotten coast, says Anna Belking.

“Snow all day”

The snow will last most of the day, although the intensity will decrease during the afternoon. Until the evening, according to SMHI’s forecast, a total of 10–15 centimeters may fall with local variations.

– But it will continue to snow throughout the day and for large parts of the rest of the week, says Belking.

SMHI has also issued a snowfall warning for the southern half of Västra Götaland county and the northern part of Halland. Even in connection with that snow, there can be traffic problems.

– But the snow only arrives towards the afternoon and evening. But there are some snow flurries located along the Kattegat and can cause some snow flurries over Halland earlier in the day, says Anna Belking.
