The forecaster warns - with the warmth will come an unpleasant array of phenomena

A weather forecaster predicts significant weather changes in Lithuania over the weekend, with snow expected to transition into sleet and rain, leading to potentially icy conditions.

On Saturday, a low-pressure area moving in from the west is expected to change the weather across Lithuania, starting with mostly clear skies before increasing cloudiness. Forecasts indicate that while there will be some light snow in the western regions by evening, the significant snowfall is not expected to spread widely. Temperatures will range from 0 to -5 degrees Celsius, accompanied by strengthening southern winds reaching gusts of up to 19 m/s.

As the weekend progresses, particularly by Sunday night, forecasters predict notable weather changes caused by an atmospheric front passing through the country. Snow will initially fall in many areas, but this will quickly transition into sleet and rain, creating a risk of icy conditions as the rain falls. While gusty southwesterly and westerly winds will blow, forecasters believe that dangerous gusts are unlikely to occur during this time.

This shift in weather poses some implications for daily activities in Lithuania, especially concerning travel and outdoor conditions. With warnings of sleet and rain creating slippery roads and walkways, local authorities may need to issue advisories for safety. Residents are encouraged to prepare for these changes, as the sudden transition from wintery conditions to wetter weather can significantly impact both mobility and daily routines.
