The Finnish Meteorological Institute (Ilmatieteen laitos) has issued a warning for drivers regarding the expected snowfall that could worsen driving conditions across parts of the country on Tuesday. The forecast, shared via their messaging service, indicates that central Finland will experience snow accumulation ranging from 1 to 5 centimeters. This snowfall is expected to begin on Tuesday afternoon and is likely to affect traffic patterns significantly, reducing average speeds and increasing the risk of accidents.

On Wednesday, scattered snowfall is anticipated to continue over southern and central Finland. The warning includes a caution about blowing snow contributing to hazardous driving conditions that are expected to persist into the morning hours of Wednesday. As highlighted in the warning, there is a notable risk of accidents due to the combination of reduced visibility and icy roads, which necessitates careful driving during this period.

The weather video provided by the meteorological institute depicts the movement of the low pressure system responsible for the snowfall. The institute's warning map has been shared to inform the public about these weather conditions and emphasize the need for caution when traveling on the roads, particularly for those in the affected regions.
