This morning there were 2 usable stages.
1 in both countries.

If there's little snow but a thin icy layer on the road, it's good to be first on the road? The later runners will have slush reducing grip and gravel eating their studs?

The Swedish and Norwegian meteorological institutes (and Finland) use common weather model. So the results are the same. It's just the visualisation that is different.

One option is this:

https://www.yr.no/place/Sweden/V%C3%...rsby/long.html

For snow on the ground and snow depth predictions use this:

Translated from an article in a Swedish newspaper who has interviewed the head of Rally Sweden, Glen Olsson this afternoon:

"Rally Sweden will take place as planned"

"Glen Olsson has had meetings with rally teams, FIA and the promotor"

"We have together with the teams studied everyone´s weather forecast services,. The coming weeks are going towards colder temperatures and also some snow, so we´re all looking forward to hard and fast roads."

"The teams might get access to additional tires in order to compensate for higher amount of tire wear. At minus degrees, the roads are frozen and there´s no concern for road damages, especially not regarding the circumstances in 2016"
