In addition, according to Météo France, "given the very significant accumulations in medium mountains, greater than one meter in the Pyrénées Atlantiques and the Hautes-Pyrénées, the
risk of avalanches
is high (level 4 out of 5)".
These two departments are therefore placed in orange vigilance for this parameter.
Lows may concern high-altitude road sectors in the Aspe-Ossau and Haute Bigorre Massifs in particular.
In the Northern Alps, snowfall persists at very low altitude, making traffic difficult as well.
The snow should ease significantly during the afternoon.
