From Wednesday evening through Friday morning locally up to 20-30 cm of snow in 24 hours is expected. Most likely areas to get snow are areas above 200 m.a.s.l. and inland regions. Most snow is expected during the night. Vulnerable infrastructure can be affected due to accumulation of snow. Travel time may increase on some journeys.
