A storm from Norway is approaching Sweden and is expected to affect areas including Värmland, the West Coast, and Bohuslän. According to reports, it will become very windy in these regions, with wind speeds reportedly increasing in the afternoon and evening. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued yellow warnings for hard wind and hard wind combined with snowfall in mountain areas such as Jämtlandsfjällen and parts of Dalafjällen.
The entire Dalafjällen, including Sälen and Idre, is expected to be impacted by the wind, with strong winds already blowing and potentially increasing to storm gusts, along with rain or snow. On the West Coast, over Bohuslän, and in Värmland, wind strengths are reportedly expected to be hard or very hard but just below warning levels. The wind is forecast to spread to more places in the country and up over Norrland during the night, decreasing in the southernmost parts of the country by Friday afternoon and moving away from Sweden by Saturday morning.
The storm is associated with an extensive low-pressure system over the Norwegian Sea and a front moving into Sweden.
