The Basque and Navarre governments will launch their winter road plans this Saturday.

Indeed, according to Euskalmet's prediction, the snow level in the ACV will be between 1,000 and 800 metres, and will be below that level in eastern Álava.

The agency expects showers throughout the day, which could be accompanied by hail storms during the first half of the day.

In view of this situation, the Department of Safety of the Basque Government has announced that at 00:00 on Saturday the winter road plan will be activated for the whole day in the monitoring and information phase.

In addition, in Navarre, the AEMET agency plans to snow around 500 metres and activate yellow alerts for the entire territory: rainfall on the cantabrian side, snowfall in the Pyrenees and wind in the central and Ribera areas. 

Therefore, the Department of Territorial Cohesion of the Foral Government has activated 46 snow removal machines for the weekend and recommends extreme caution on the roads throughout the weekend due to the possibility of precipitation, wind and ice sheets.
