FIRST INFO: Snow and winter are heading in Slovakia. When will the first snow fall?
The first flat snowfall in Slovakia could arrive in the coming week. Numerical models announce that the weather will continue for several days, but there will be a fundamental change around Katarína, which may take winter in Slovakia.
For several days now, Slovakia has been prevailing in inverse weather, which has not changed much and will not change in the following days. But when will winter come to Slovakia? When will it snow in the lowlands? The questions you are asking yourself more at this time of year and the questions that are getting more frequent with the approaching Christmas.
The answers to these questions are always problematic, but in the last tens of hours the answers to these questions have become clearer and clearer. Today, I know that there will soon be a fundamental change that could have brought the arrival of winter in Slovakia.
The past days have been announced by numerical models that in the last decade of November the nature of the weather in our territory will change significantly, and next week we will definitely say goodbye to the dry and foggy weather. However, it is also possible that we will say goodbye to the autumn weather at the same time.
The weather will gradually start to change
In the following days, nothing will change in the nature of the weather in our territory. Furthermore, the influence of individual pressure wins will prevail in our area, which in this time of year brings quite often the current inverse and cold weather.
On Friday, however, the weather in our territory will affect the warm front, which will ensure that rain is expected, especially in the northern and eastern half of our territory. However, it will definitely not be any heavy rainfall.
The weekend will be warmer
What will happen next, however, is that warmer air will penetrate to us behind this warm front from the west, and at the same time another higher pressure outcrop will start to slide into our area from the west.
As a result, the temperature could rise to more pleasant values over the weekend. These could reach the level of +8 to +14 ° C after the morning mist has dissolved.
The weekend weather will be not only the most beautiful of the past days, but also the most beautiful, which is probably waiting for us by the end of November. Next week, we will continue to be affected by areas of high air pressure, which will bring inverse weather to our territory, which should change to Catherine.
Katarína will probably be in the snow
Well-known pranostika says: “Katarína on ice and Christmas on mud”. Whether the current Katarína will be on the ice is still quite a question, but it does not look like she will be on the snow before on the ice. So the prospect is that a gust of winter is heading for Europe.
From the north to the Mediterranean, the areas of lower air pressure should gradually spread, and at the same time the air to central Europe will flow from the north very cold. We will be in the cold air and at the same time it looks like the individual precipitation fields will follow, which will bring snow by moving in the air study.
According to the current prospects, the snowfall should also reach the lowlands. The first wave of snowfall may hit Qatar precisely. The GFS model as well as the European ECMWF model announce that Katarína should be snowed in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and, in the afternoon and evening, also in Slovakia.
Another wave of snowfall is expected the next day. However, temperatures will be a problem. These will be not only in our territory, but also in the surrounding countries above zero and the daily temperatures of the day will range from 0 to +6 ° C.
Therefore, it can also snow in the lowlands, but snow cover will be created mainly in higher areas. In lower positions, it is formed only during the night. In the lower position, it may wake up to a snowy morning, but during the day the snow will melt.
Current models models that the more pronounced wave with new snow in Europe that is expected around Catherine may bring the first numerical wave with new snow. In the Vysočina region, in Austria, or in serious Slovakia, it could fall within 10 cm, in the mountains up to 20 cm of new snow.
For lovers of winter, the news is optimistic for the next days as well. Until the beginning of December, we should continue to cool down and further waves of snow are waiting for us. More about the development of the weather after Catherine see HERE.
