The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) issued a yellow warning for heavy snowfall along large parts of the West Coast of Sweden on Thursday evening. The warning is in effect from Friday at 18:00 to Saturday at 11:00. Up to ten centimeters of snow is expected from Friday evening through Saturday morning, with more possible locally.

Meteorologist Christopher Greenland at SMHI said that those planning to travel should expect longer journey times due to reduced visibility, slippery conditions, and potential delays or cancellations in public transport. The snowfall is likely to turn to snow mixed with rain or rain on Saturday, which could lead to icy conditions if the rain comes into contact with cold roads.
