FORECAST WEATHER DEVELOPMENT



Today the weather will not change yet.



Tomorrow cloudiness will gradually increase from the east, while in the high mountains it will remain partly clear. In higher elevations colder air will gradually start arriving.



On Wednesday it will be cloudy and foggy, highest peaks may protrude above the clouds. Snow may fall occasionally. A strengthened northeasterly wind will blow.







SNOW CONDITIONS TREND



Snow is mostly already well transformed. Especially in the morning there is a slightly higher chance of slipping due to partially icy surface.
