British storm Dave is moving into Sweden during Easter, bringing strong winds. SVT meteorologist Nitzan Cohen warns of a risk of storm gusts over land in the southwest. SMHI has issued yellow warnings for snowfall and gales.
Storm Dave, named by the British, is expected to hit Sweden during Easter with strong winds, mainly in the southwest. A yellow warning covers from the sea off Halmstad to the Norwegian border on Easter Eve. SVT meteorologist Nitzan Cohen said: "We can now see there is a risk of storm gusts over land."
On Saturday, a yellow warning for snowfall applies to large parts of Värmland, with SMHI warning of longer travel times due to slippery conditions and poor visibility. Snow and rain will affect northwestern and northern Svealand as well as parts of Norrland. Winds will peak Sunday afternoon and evening, especially in Bohuslän, Dalsland, and Västgötaslätten.
SMHI meteorologist Hilda Westberg confirms Dave will bring storm-force gusts to Götaland and southern Svealand, though no warning has been issued for Sunday yet. "It will be very windy," she said. Cohen adds a caveat that the forecast might ease.
The storm could disrupt car and train traffic. Cohen advises using major roads in the south due to lower risk of fallen trees. SMHI urges crews to prepare for strong winds at sea.
