Belgium still on alert, here is the weather forecast for the next few hours
In the first part of the night, mainly in the south of the country, winter showers (rain, melting snow and sleet) will still fall in the plains, and snow showers in Middle and Upper Belgium. In particular in the south of the Ardennes, this will bring a few more cm of snow, but a layer of snow may also form on the plain during more intense showers elsewhere in the south of the country.
Later tonight the weather will become dry everywhere. It will gradually freeze over the whole territory, so there will be a risk of slippery roads due to freezing of wet roads, freezing fog.

“Pending snow removal and road spreading, which is in progress, it is not recommended to drive. Due to the current snowfall, driving conditions are extremely complicated on the territory of the city of Liège. The sloping roads are very slippery and some are inaccessible for the moment, ”explained the Liège police in a press release published Friday around 6:25 p.m.
