Snow and blizzards are expected on Friday

On Friday, snow and blizzards are expected in Estonia as a strong high-pressure system approaches from Scandinavia and Finland, leading to colder temperatures and variable cloudiness.

On Friday, a robust high-pressure system extending from Scandinavia and Finland will make its way toward Estonia during the night, bringing changing cloudiness and moderate cold conditions. Although clouds will increase after midnight, significant snowfall is not expected until later in the day, when a low-pressure system moving over Poland will push snow toward Estonia's southern border and then gradually northward. The winds will be strong from the northeast, enhancing the likelihood of blizzard conditions.

The night will be marked by variable cloudiness, with possible light snow in some areas and minimal local blizzard conditions. Winds from the northeast and east will strengthen, with gusts near the coast reaching up to 17 meters per second. Temperature-wise, it will be cold, ranging from -7 to -16 degrees Celsius, which adds to the chilling effect of the winds. Friday morning will see cloudy skies, but significant precipitation is unlikely, with air temperatures remaining between -9 and -16 degrees Celsius.

During the day, snow is forecasted to reach Southern Estonia and will slowly move northward, causing blizzard conditions in several areas. Winds will remain moderate from the northeast, with gusts potentially reaching 18 meters per second in the afternoon, even up to 21 m/s by evening. Additionally, the temperature will be between -6 to -12 degrees Celsius, setting the stage for a wintry weekend ahead, particularly for Eastern and Southern Estonia, which may see additional snow and blizzard conditions throughout Saturday.
