Orange Snow Alert in Álava as Galicia Readies for Light Evening Rains

Officials describe a high-likelihood, low-accumulation pattern that still poses travel challenges.

Overview

  • AEMET elevated Álava to an orange snowfall alert focused on Friday, with peak precipitation in the early hours and depths up to about 15 cm at 500 meters.
  • El Correo reports heightened concern in Montaña Alavesa, where the local district lacks snowploughs and the provincial council must handle secondary roads.
  • Across Galicia on Saturday, AEMET-based forecasts point to very cloudy skies, high humidity and morning mist or fog that could reduce visibility.
  • Rain chances across multiple Galician towns rise sharply in the evening—often reaching 95–100% between roughly 19:00 and 01:00—yet expected totals stay light and thunderstorm risk remains low.
  • In Argentina, SMN bulletins note strong southerly winds and early drizzle in Tucumán with possible later clearing, and continued instability in Santiago del Estero with isolated showers or storms (10–40% probability).
