SMHI has issued several weather warnings for the weekend, including a yellow warning for hard to very harsh winds in Jämtlandsfjällen and Härjedalsfjällen. The wind is expected to be southern to southwest and add on Saturday, with wind gusts that can reach up to 16-22 meters per second. Those who are not used to mountain conditions are encouraged to set their mountain rides as snow reefs can make visibility poor and the winds increase the risk of freezing at minus degrees.
At the same time, SMHI has issued breeze warnings for the coastal areas and out on the sea, where the winds can also become strong over the weekend. The weather conditions involve a risk of very windy weather, and on the calf mountains the warning applies all Saturday.
