Showery snow often affecting central Europe near and north of the Alps.

Monday
Mild in Iberia, consistently rainy in the north much of the day, dry and bright in the south and east. Fine in the Balearics with a few scattered showers for Corsica, though a strong westerly wind through the west Mediterranean. Scattered showers in Italy, heavy in the afternoon, and often snowing in the northern mountains. Dry for the Balkans to start, then coastal showers form, perhaps more widely into Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina with snow well-inland. Showers here and there in Greece and west Türkiye with bright spells.
Showery and windy in France, the rain most persistent and heavy in the south and east. Showers affect the Low Countries and Germany too, a band of snow in north and east Germany stretching into Czechia and west Poland with time; eastern Poland likely stays dry during daylight. Snow most of the day over Switzerland and Austria. Some patchy snow and cloud drifts into Slovakia, and Hungary with time. Dry with bright spells from Belarus south to Romania. Some showers in Bulgaria.
Snow in Denmark and southernmost parts of Norway and Sweden on a cold easterly wind. The rest of Scandinavia will be cloudy and substantially dry, just a few snowy patches in the far north. Generally brighter in southern Finland and the Baltic States, very cold in Lithuania and Latvia.

Tuesday
More showers in northwest Portugal and Spain, otherwise dry and sunny in Iberia; milder in southern and eastern Spain. Fine across the central Mediterranean and Italy, a few early showers in the south; strong wind from Sardinia and Corsica across southern Italy into Greece. Largely wet from Serbia southward into Greece and Türkiye, precipitation largely falling as snow in the northern areas of this spell of rain. Some heavy showers around the Aegean and south Türkiye.
More rain for west France, reaching central areas later. Some showers in the east of France as well, these extending into Germany, Switzerland, and Austria as snow showers. Some showers affect the Low Countries too. Showery snow affects Czechia and Poland too. Drier with bright spells in Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, and Belarus. Romania and Bulgaria will be often wet with snow well-inland from the Black Sea.
Low pressure around the Baltic Sea brings a cold breeze and showery snow to Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, and southern Sweden. Snow also affecting Norway's west coast too. Sweden and northern Finland largely cloudy and dry. South Finland and Estonia brighter and drier.
