@leggyblonde, good news hopefully. Météo France has the change as well so fingers crossed.

@leggyblonde, the ensembles do seem broadly aligned that it will cool down early next week which is nice.
ECM bringing more northerly flow on its latest run, GFS sticking with westerly Atlantic flow - but too far ahead to know which one will prevail.

How are the charts looking for Aosta valley next week?
While we’re on the subject of squabbling, which app do people rate? AccuWeather, XC, Yr, Meteoblue? (I have no idea which model each of these are based on btw but happy to be educated )

@geoffers, I’ve used Bergfex in the past, I admit I’m a bit baffled by Windy and too tight to pay for premium

@MotownJunk, windy is very easy - and the best bit is the comparison between all the models - which I think goes to show how inaccurate the whole forecasting malarkey is, as if they can't get it right........
And a few models showing 10+ cms 27th now - but we're clutching at straws this early

Indeed I pay for windy premium as it has a higher resolution for yachting*. They recently added the ECM ai forecast to the end. I think what that view normally shows is just how much more accurate ECM is than any other model in my experience.
*For wind sports PredictWind (paid) is slightly better as they modify the main models to account for sea breeze influence on the gradients.

WXcharts is free https://wxcharts.com/and has all the various models though I would guess if you pay for Windy (or whatever) you get a higher resolution etc.
Did notice this morning that both ECM & GFS are suggesting a return to cooler & unsettled weather next week, how much snow and where, is, as ever, somewhat less clear.
@Weathercam, GFS is suggesting snow on the 27th for Serre Chevalier with the inevitable Genoa low.

Looking unsettled for a week at least after next Tues across much of the alps. Southerly wind direction so altitude and microclimates will determine how much is snow and how much is wet stuff. Suspect France side of the ridge might be wet at lower altitudes, hopefully Italy will see mainly snow. further west into Switz Austria should be snow

How do you get that model comparison in Windy @Weathercam ? EDIT @ : Ignore , i found the Compare option !
A request, Scotland, I know, but it's my livelihood, we've just had a massive snow stripping event again, my bank manager is not happy, give me some realistic hope !

Actually think next weeks forecast is pretty positive from Tuesday/wed onwards , more so for the North West of the Alps not sure they will see actually see that much rain before then . Rain/ snow limit falls pretty quickly with cold front Tuesday/Wednesday , Cham Meteo this morning was forecasting noticeable cooling Tuesday with R/S limit 1600m falling to 1300m . Might be different for Serre Chevalier however .

I'd have expected "Below 1800m: Heatwave temperatures akin to June; monsoon rains; all snow washed away; local wildlife being led two by two onto an evacuation vessel..."

@slider24, and to confirm, you don't need premium to access the comparison charts on windy.com and they did buy MeteoBlue.

It has been snowing just ever so slightly in Männlichen (Grindelwald/Wengen) today. It's VERY little, I even suspected it might be blown off snow from the peaks, but I think it is fresh snow.
Some forecasts had predicted a bit of snow today a few days ago but it had disappeared yesterday.
Hope it's a prelude of what's to come this week (too bad I'm leaving tonight). Despite the dry and warm weather, pistes are holding up well though (as usual).
EDIT: right after my comment it started to snow visibly, though at 1800m it's a mix of snow and rain

It started snowing half way through the WC Mens SG this morning in Crans-Montana. Just an anecdote, but was this forecast?

Snow at 1600/1700m in the Tarentaise (la Plagne etc.) but only about 5cm. A few flakes continuing today and tomorrow but with the zero iso going up to 2900m today. Then sunny weather forecast through to the 7th March. North Atlantic still looking way too hot although it is on a cooling trend relative to 2024.
All in all not bad for the end of April.

The charts are all pretty gloomy this morning. I'm no expert (polo we're missing you...) but looks like strong alignment for a very warm week next week
