For the forecast, a weak disorganised frontal system is moving our way with the likelihood of precipitation later today into this evening. The GFS and European models are in some agreement for today's forecast, but there is a lot of uncertainty in the models for today. An upper trough is expected for tomorrow with light precipitation through the day, moderate precipitation in the morning. This trough looks somewhat stationary and will give unsettled weather for most of the week, cooler temperatures with a mix of sun and cloud. Tuesday is looking like the driest day up to Thursdays forecast. Freezing levels around 1900 meters to 2100 meters for today, dropping to between 1700-1900 tomorrow.

    As of 07:00 hrs at 2240 meters we have overcast skies with unlimited visibility.
