On Friday, high-pressure systems provided calm weather across Europe, but a precipitation belt stretching from the North Sea through the Low Countries to the Balkan Peninsula brought varying weather conditions. While the British Isles experienced rain, Norway, parts of Sweden, and the Baltics saw some snowfall and sleet. Forecasts indicate that by Saturday morning, the Baltics will be under the influence of high pressure, resulting in a cold night without precipitation, although strong southwest and southerly winds will develop.

As a low-pressure area approaches from Scandinavia, substantial snowfall is expected to begin during the day on Saturday, affecting Finland first and then spreading to Estonia's offshore islands and western coastline by the afternoon. This weather system will slowly move eastward over Finland, bringing further precipitation to Estonia on Sunday, including snow, sleet, and rain in some areas, with an ongoing risk of freezing rain and widespread ice formation.

By Sunday afternoon, as the low-pressure system continues its path, precipitation is expected to shift beyond Estonia's eastern border, and winds will shift to the northwest, marking a transition to a colder and potentially clearer weather pattern in the days that follow. Overall, this changeable weather signifies the arrival of winter conditions in the region, highlighting the need for residents to prepare for icy and wintry conditions on the roads and in their daily activities.
