On Monday, the extent of the crushing fog and layered clouds in the northeastern landscapes will gradually decrease during the day. After the clear, sunny weather, the clouds will increase and thicken from the west. There will be no significant precipitation, at most snow flurries may occur in some places.

During the day, flurries of snow and light snowfall may occur in the area of the Northern Central Mountains, precipitation is not expected elsewhere. In the evening, however, a precipitation zone arrives to the west, from which snowfall is likely in an increasingly large area from the northwest, but initially mixed precipitation and rain may also occur. The easterly wind will remain weak or moderate. The minimum temperature is usually between minus 5 and 0 degrees, but in the northeast, it can be a few degrees lower. The maximum is expected to be between minus 1 and plus 7 degrees, the weather will be colder in the northeast and milder in the southwest.

At the same time, the northeastern part of the country may remain without precipitation. The north-easterly and northerly winds mostly remain weak or moderate. The minimum temperature is usually between minus 3 and plus 2 degrees, but in the less cloudy and frosty northeastern regions, values a few degrees lower can be measured.
