Denmark's Meteorological Institute (DMI) has announced that the upcoming weekend will bring extremely cold temperatures and icy road conditions, although significant snowfall is not anticipated. According to the on-duty meteorologist Hans Peter Wandler, earlier warnings of a snowstorm for the southern part of the country were revised, with the focus now on Bornholm where alerts for snow have been downgraded to warnings of blowing snow. The adjustment was made as the snow system moved faster than predicted, prompting the DMI to modify their forecasts through the night.

The DMI continues to maintain a warning for blowing snow on Bornholm, expected to last until Friday afternoon, while the rest of Denmark will likely experience mostly cloudy conditions. Wandler noted that there may be minor snowfall in localized areas, particularly in Jutland where there could also be periods of light snow. The overall expectation is that while temperatures will plunge, the precipitation will not be substantial, easing concerns about heavy snow and its impact on travel and daily activities over the weekend.

In light of these weather predictions, it is essential for residents and travelers alike to take precautions on icy roads and to stay informed about any updates from the DMI. With the forecasting challenges noted by Wandler, those in affected areas are encouraged to remain cautious and prepared for winter driving conditions, particularly in regions where localized snow may occur, contributing to potentially hazardous situations.
