Meteorologists in Lithuania have issued a warning for Friday, forecasting heavy snowfall in northern parts of the country. The forecasters emphasize the potential dangers posed by the snow, which could lead to reduced visibility and hazardous road conditions, making travel unsafe. Due to the weight of accumulating snow, there is also a risk of tree branches breaking or trees falling, posing further hazards to both people and structures.

The prediction for the night from Thursday to Friday includes various forms of precipitation, predominantly snow and sleet, along with some fog and icy conditions. The current weather forecast highlights that temperatures could drop between 0 to 7 degrees Celsius, with wind speeds reaching up to 14 m/s in some areas, contributing to challenging weather conditions. The warning specifies that areas in the north may experience severe snowfall, while regions in the south may see rain instead.

Additionally, authorities are cautioning residents about the risk of roofs collapsing under the weight of heavy snowfall, alongside the potential for blizzard conditions in northern Lithuania. They recommend avoiding non-essential travel during this period as conditions could rapidly deteriorate, further emphasizing the importance of safety and preparedness in response to the impending severe winter weather.
