From the forecaster - a warning about Friday, a heavy portion of precipitation, and news about returning cold
A weather forecast warns of significant precipitation and a return to cold temperatures across Lithuania, especially impacting the central and eastern regions.
A recent weather forecast in Lithuania warns residents of significant precipitation expected on Friday, with varying weather conditions set to affect the central and eastern parts of the country. While some areas will experience snowfall, others will see a mix of sleet and rain, particularly in southern regions where only rain is anticipated. Wind conditions will be calmer in these areas, making the weather less severe for some.
As temperatures remain inconsistent across the country, western and northern regions will face freezing temperatures between -0 to -5 degrees Celsius, while most of the country will see a slight warming trend with temperatures hovering around 0-3 degrees Celsius. However, a cyclone is expected to pass through the country on Saturday night, introducing a colder air mass that will bring about a change in weather patterns. Residents can expect overcast skies and intermittent precipitation, though the intensity of these conditions will diminish over time.
In northern and western Lithuania, snowfall is expected to continue, while the rest of the country will shift back towards snow from rain and sleet. As the cyclone moves out and winds shift to the northwest and north, temperatures will drop markedly to between -4 and -9 degrees Celsius, with icy conditions on wet roads and sidewalks being a concern. The forecast indicates that those in the eastern part of the country may see slightly warmer readings between 0 and -3 degrees, but caution is advised regarding potential ice formation in urban areas and on public paths.
