Snowfall is on the way in Slovakia, which will bring another calamity. See where it will snow everywhere
On Monday at noon, a fundamental change will occur in our territory, which will bring very unfavorable weather. A strong wind is blowing and at the same time it will snow, which will bring a snow calamity to the northern parts of Slovakia in the coming days.
Weather in Slovakia will be extremely colorful in the coming days. In several places in central and eastern Slovakia, individual waves of snow must be expected, which will bring new centimeters of snow. A strong wind will blow into it, which will even cause severe damage snow blizzard.
Unfavorable the weather however, it will also affect western Slovakia. Above all, the beginning of the week will be windy, but it will also be windy in the following days of the new week.
Windy weather in many places in Slovakia
Extremely strong winds will blow in Europe already on Monday. It will be related to the fact that there will be a deep depression over Scandinavia “Nicolas” in the center of which air pressure will drop to 960 hPa, while a ridge of higher pressure will expand over western Europe from the western Atlantic.
A strong gradient will thus arise between these two pressure formations, which will manifest itself in strong winds. It will be windy in several European countries from the coast with the North Sea to the Adriatic. In our territory, it will be windiest in the mountains and in western Slovakia. It will blow already on Monday at noon.
In lower areas, it should be windiest on Monday evening and on the night from Monday to Tuesday. The wind will blow mainly in northwestern Slovakia. In lower locations, wind gusts will move up to 15 m/s, but in the extreme west, wind gusts will attack at a speed of 20 m/s.
expected wind gusts at the turn of Monday and Tuesday
It should be windiest in the mountains especially on Tuesday morning. Wind gusts will reach a speed of up to 30 m/s on the ridges of the mountains of central Slovakia, but on the ridges of the High and especially on the ridges of the Low Tatras the wind will reach a speed of up to 40 m/s. So if you are planning a skiing trip, for example, to Chopka in the Jasná resort, then expect possible restrictions in the resort on Tuesday.
gusty winds expected Tuesday morning
The wind will weaken on Tuesday, but individual waves are expected in the following days, during which the wind will temporarily increase. Seriously, just a little more than the wind will cause problems, as the wind will also snow and there is a risk of blizzards on the roads.
More than half a meter of snow can fall
Our territory should be in the study and moist flow all week. This kind of flow, in which moist air flows to us from the North Sea region in the winter, always causes a calamitous situation for difficult Slovakia.
Individual rain waves will come over our territory in the following days, which will bring heavy snowfall. Snow will fall mainly on the mountains, but the northern sides of the High Tatras and Kysúc will receive the most snow, and above all Orava, where more than 60 cm of snow can fall.
expected snowfall totals
On the map, you can see that some snowfall is also expected in western Slovakia or eastern Slovakia, but it should be expected that in these areas they will move above the freezing point during the day, so the snow will be constant.
The next few days will bring dozens of snow to central Slovakia, dozens especially to the Žilina Region. We will clarify the situation in the following articles.
