The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) has issued an extended alert for a snowstorm that will affect all of Denmark, originally limited to the northern part of Zealand and Mid and North Jutland. The warning indicates that snowstorms could begin late Thursday night and continue until noon on Friday, with the possibility of updates as the weather forecast becomes more certain. Meteorologist Steen Hermansen advises that traffic disruptions are expected to start as early as Thursday morning due to the impending weather conditions.

The forecast predicts that residents throughout Denmark may see between 10 to 15 centimeters of snow, with the potential for even heavier snowfall in some areas. This significant weather event is linked to a low-pressure system moving south of Denmark, which will bring snow as it approaches. Hansen’s comments underscore the urgency for the public to prepare for the challenging travel conditions that are anticipated.

As the storm approaches, the DMI will continue to provide updates and may classify the initial warning into a more precise alert depending on details such as the location and severity of the snowstorm. The weather forecast's uncertainty will diminish as the storm draws closer, thus allowing for more accurate predictions about its impact across various regions in Denmark, highlighting the importance of staying informed during such inclement weather events.
