Weather in Lech Zürs

We remain caught up in a period of very changeable weather this week. The wind over the Alps will shift from westerly to south-westerly by Wednesday, bringing a light southerly foehn. High cloud fields will repeatedly drift in front of the sun, dampening or obscuring the sunshine. The southerly foehn will become slightly stronger in the mountains on Thursday. As a result, it will remain quite mild, with the frost line at 3,000 metres above sea level. However, as a weather system is simultaneously approaching from the south, the first precipitation is expected from midday onwards, starting from the main Alpine ridge. Nevertheless, southerly foehn effects may still provide some pleasant, dry surprises. By Friday morning, however, the southerly foehn will finally die down as a cold front moves in. As a result, Friday morning will bring some precipitation amid heavy cloud cover, and temperatures will drop more sharply. The snow line will fall below 1,500 metres. Yet by the afternoon, dry conditions will return and the skies will soon begin to clear again. The weekend promises mainly sunny weather and rising temperatures once again, even though the nights may still be quite frosty.
