Friday will see a relative improvement in the weather, with clouds rolling in amidst the clearings, but on Thursday evening, an area of rain will fall on most of the regions.
It will feel more like winter in upper Belgium, and the alert includes warnings of slippery conditions over a large part of the country, including Brussels.
The yellow alert will continue until late Friday morning.
