Accuweather hasn`t been really accurate imo...and it`s so far away.
Gismeteo.ru shows no snowfall, a few plusses day and few minuses at night.
Yr.no does not provide such a long term forecast.

It's way too early to make forecast for Sweden WRC weekend. For such a long period it will change every day. My expierience shows you can start to believe 5 days before.

I know it's early for the rally forecasts but I'm also interested in the weather before the rally in the coming week, will there be more snow or will it be gone

[mknight]

For the snow to disappear you'd need a week with 5+ temps (especially for day 1), that's extremely unlikely.

More (fresh) snow would mostly make a difference on friday due to the running order.

But I get what you mean, there is whole lot of options between these two and a day or two with warm temperatures can make the surface more icy, while some snowfall will make it more slippery.

Especially with the current forecasts, they can't be that wrong for the upcoming week anymore.

[Tarmop]

Yes they can... our latest pluss degrees with rain, which melted all the snow and ruined ice tracks, was supposed to be -15 all the time, forecast changed 5/6 days before. On the plus side it was supposed to last for a week, but only lasted 5 days (again changed). But hopefully it won`t happen again, nice winter is back and February is supposedly the coldest month of the year/winter. About time too to get some normal winter weather. Hasn`t happened for 4 years now, let`s hope 5. is the real one again. Started a bit late, but March is also still ahead.

Where would people recommend to go for Friday stages that we can see both runs over the stage and make it back into torsby for the evening stage also? We went to Rodjen stage last year and seen both runs and back onto torsby for evening.

With Mads driving for Citroen in Sweden there will be 10 former WRC rally winner's competing there. Is this a record ?

(Only Breen and Sunninen of the WRC driver's havent won a WRC event).
