The southern Alps continue to get blasted, and more of the same is expected today (Sunday). The action will shift a little bit east, but the Swiss/Italian border and farther east in the southern Alps will get nailed today. One final wave of snow will bring moderate snow to the northern Alps Monday night through Wednesday. 

The run of March powder days in the Alps and Pyrenees goes on, as some of the best skiing and riding of the season continues. The Pyrenees and western Italian Alps are the deepest on Sunday so expect some delays in opening. 

The second phase of this storm will bring significant additional accumulations along the Swiss/Italian border and in the eastern Italian Alps as well. Below is the expected snowfall from Sunday morning through Monday for these areas. 

This period of snow will result in another powder day for the southern Alps on Sunday before snow tapers off from west to east in the morning.

The final system in this storm cycle will bring moderate snow to the northern Alps beginning Monday afternoon. The northern side of the Austrian Alps will be favored, but overall this phase is much weaker than the prior two. Still, a solid refresh is expected across the northern Alps from France to Austria. Snow totals for the final round are shown below.

The models are still battling on the storm track for later next week and into the weekend. The storm track will shift north, but how close the storms get to the Alps remains a question. The possibility remains that a few storms could graze the northern Alps during this time bringing periods of snow showers through the weekend and early next week. 

Thanks for reading the Europe Daily Snow!
