First Snow Possible Overnight Saturday in Western Netherlands

Road conditions hinge on whether near-surface temperatures keep early flakes dry.

Overview

  • Forecasters expect a precipitation band to arrive late Saturday, bringing a chance of snow overnight into Sunday.
  • Where it stays just below freezing, a localized dusting of roughly 1–2 centimeters could form, mainly on cars, grass and other cold surfaces.
  • As the lower atmosphere warms on Sunday, the wintry start will likely turn to wet snow and then rain, with limited staying power for any early coating.
  • Municipal gritting is anticipated and drivers are urged to use caution due to a risk of slippery roads.
  • Saturday looks mostly dry but cold with a strengthening south wind and highs near 3–4°C, and temperatures remain below seasonal norms into early next week with some drier spells midweek.
