GENERAL SYNOPSIS
After shallow thalweg crossing over early this morning, the high ridge resumes ruling, Azores (1027) to Pennine Alps (Sion, 1025) and further to the Sea of Azov, northeast of Crimea, (1034). Concomitant Atlantic subtropical air income high up, involving Ukraine. • Development toward more wintry weather pattern seemingly initiating this Tuesday, with that tiny and slow collapse of Alpine surface pressure field, then with the gradual break of altitude mild air inflow, still faltering at first though becoming actual between Sunday and Monday, as a more structured westerly disturbance will be crossing over. • The latter seems indeed likely to triggering about 25-30 mm precipitation until Monday evening.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK UNTIL SUNDAY OCTOBER 31 2021

Saturday : uncertain - foehn generated sunny spells until mi-afternoon - rainy deterioration later - morning mild and windy (NE) in the valley, and SW high up, both fairly strong. Sunday : very uncertain - foehn might keep blowing rather strong, thus delaying until evening the approach of the rainy cold front.
Forecast reliability : fairly good until Thursday.
