At the beginning of the morning this Saturday, a disturbance is located at the point of Brittany and gains towards the east during the day.

Within this disturbance, freezing rains are possible, aggravating the slippery phenomena already present with the freeze-up.

Small layers of ice can again form on the roadways.

The freezing rains could be a little more important in the Côtes-d'Armor.

The departments of Ille-et-Vilaine, Manche and Loire-Atlantique could also be concerned by the end of the afternoon, but to a lesser extent (yellow vigilance).

Alert lifted in Rhône-Alpes but caution

In the afternoon, precipitation will still affect eastern Brittany, Pays-de-la-Loire and Lower Normandy.

Pockets of cold air could also locally give ice despite slightly positive temperatures.

The greatest caution is requested from motorists using the roadways in these regions.

Note that there remains a department in orange vigilance for the risk of floods, Charente-Maritime.

In Rhône-Alpes, snowfall has stopped but we can see severe frosts, sometimes down to -9 ° C in the plains.

Temperatures will be particularly cold there on Saturday and at night from Saturday to Sunday.

Highs will peak between 0 and 3 ° C over the northern half of the region.

The thaw will be very slow during the day.

Orange vigilance for Rhône-Alpes has ended, where frosts lead, however, to delicate road traffic on the secondary network, warns Météo-France.

Temperatures will remain very low until Sunday morning.
