A weather warning has been issued for parts of Eastern and Southern Norway due to expected snow turning to rain, leading to potential icy conditions on roads.
Meteorologists have issued a warning for Eastern and Southern Norway as a mild front is expected to bring precipitation starting as snow and transitioning to rain. The shift in weather conditions raises concerns for safety, particularly as this could lead to icy surfaces, making travel hazardous.
