KNMI Issues Code Yellow as Late-Winter Snow Moves In Overnight

Forecasters warn the snow band’s northern reach remains uncertain.

Overview

  • The KNMI has placed several provinces, including South Holland, Utrecht, Gelderland, North Brabant and Limburg, under a code yellow overnight into Thursday for slippery conditions.
  • A snow zone advancing from the south is expected to arrive late Wednesday night, bringing (wet) snow during the Thursday morning hours before easing by midday.
  • Most areas in the risk zone could see 1–3 cm of accumulation with isolated totals near 5 cm in southern pockets, depending on the band’s exact track.
  • Along the coast and farther north, precipitation may fall as wet snow or turn to rain, with any cover more likely on grass and roofs than on main roads.
  • Transport operators are preparing—RET and HTM will run trams overnight to keep rails clear, NS urges checks of travel planners—and a quick warm-up is forecast this weekend with highs around 10–13°C.
