Residents across Lithuania should prepare for continued frigid temperatures and scattered snow showers through the coming days. A developing cyclone near the Black Sea is expected to bring the most important snowfall to southeastern portions of the country, while much of the region will experience below-freezing conditions and possibly hazardous wind chills. The Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service advises caution, especially overnight, as temperatures are forecast to dip as low as 15 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
Southeastern portions of the country will see approaching snow clouds later this evening, but significant snowfall isn’t expected across the region today.
Fog and frost are possible in some areas this morning, particularly in northwestern Lithuania. Winds will be moderate, blowing from the northeast and north at 6–11 m/s. Unusually, the strongest winds will be in the southeast, not along the coast. Temperatures will range between 4 and 9 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
A cyclone developing near the Black Sea will bring snow to southeastern Lithuania overnight Thursday. Elsewhere, significant snowfall is not anticipated.
