SMHI has issued a yellow wind warning for large parts of northern Sweden ahead of Saturday, following two days of orange warnings. A deep low-pressure system is expected to bring very windy conditions with gusts up to storm force. In the mountain areas, orange warnings apply in the north and yellow in the south, with risks of snow and icy roads.
