Recent weather forecasts have significantly changed, leading to the cancellation of the anticipated snowstorm in Finland. Foreca's meteorologist Joonas Koskela reported that yesterday's forecasts were predicting heavy snowfall particularly in southern and central Finland, but the latest updates indicate the worst of the storm will actually impact Latvia and Estonia instead.

According to Koskela, a stronger high-pressure system has formed over Finland, which is pushing the low-pressure weather system further south than initially expected. This change means that the previously rumored heavy snowfall will not occur in the country as initially forecasted. The meteorologist emphasized that the update marks a notable turnaround from the forecasts of just a day ago and that more clarity on the situation would emerge in the coming days.

As for whether the snowstorm could still change direction, Koskela noted that significant shifts can happen with strong low-pressure systems up to a couple of days before they arrive, indicating that there may still be hope for those awaiting the snowfall. Nonetheless, the current trajectory suggests that Finland will remain unaffected by the impending storm, which has garnered interest as communities prepared for possible snowfall.
