FIRST INFO: Snowfall in Slovakia again. The snow mainly covers the west of the country
The weather in our area will deteriorate significantly again. Dangerous weather awaits us especially on Thursday, when Slovakia will be hit by further waves of snow. Snow strikes mainly in the west of the country.
In our territory, the temperature of below-average weather has prevailed for several days. Cold flow prevails in our area, and in this cold flow, the individual pressures are advancing lower from the Adriatic.
This is not the reason for this year’s relatively warm surface waters of the Adriatic and Mediterranean, which are well above the supported long-term temperature normal.
If the cold, continental air from the north falls more on the warm, then it tends to cause the individual pressure lower to deepen above the water surface. They have already brought us several waves of snowfall and other waves of snow are still waiting for us.
Another snowfall is coming towards us
Above the Adriatic, new pressure lows are constantly deepening, while colder air is still flowing into our area from the north. When air enters this air, it decreases with its humidity, so it causes relatively heavy precipitation in our territory in the winter.
Another so-called “Jadranka”, ie the pressure below, which slides over our territory from the Adriatic Sea, will bring snow in Slovakia as early as Thursday, while the snowfall will come in several waves.
The snowfall will hit the west in particular
The first wave of snowfall will arrive in Slovakia on Thursday in the early morning. It will start snowing from the southwest in many western Slovakia, while in places around zero, snow cover will form relatively quickly.
The snowfall should reach part of central Slovakia in the morning, but snowfall is still expected only in the western districts of central Slovakia.
Even heavier snowfall is expected in our territory on Thursday after 10:00. The snowfall will start to intensify from the southwest first in the western area and gradually in the area of central Slovakia, where it should spread especially on Thursday evening.
Most snow falls in the west
The concrete predictions of the expected new snow cover are still relatively early, but numerical models estimate that the most snow will be added in the area of western Slovakia.
In the western half of our territory, 5 to 10 cm of new snow should fall during Thursday. In higher positions even above 10 cm.
