The warnings apply to northern and central Götaland, up over western Svealand and – towards the afternoon – southernmost Norrland.
According to the comment from the SMHI meteorologist on the website early on Thursday, the precipitation expected to begin with rain and wet snow, particularly along the west coast. But later on, there may be talk of occasional heavy snowfall. Since the temperature is expected to be around zero, it's mainly about heavy, wet snow.
In northern Sweden, cold and dry weather is forecast, with a high-pressure system opposing the low-pressure system from the south. The low-pressure system is expected to move northwards on Friday and may then bring snowfall to southern Norrland and along the coast of Västerbotten.
Over the weekend, there may be talk of more snow, then in Svealand.
