SYNOPSIS

A deep trough is moving east across the north and central Europe with a strong surface cold front crossing the Alps and N Balkan peninsula. An upper ridge over the Balkan peninsula weakens while spreading into the Black Sea region. A new upper ridge develops over the north Atlantic.

Additionally, up to 100 mm of rainfall is possible across the Kvarner region (Gorski Kotar) and NW Slovenia due to persistent orographic precipitation. The cold front will change rain to snow by early/mid afternoon hours and result in blizzard conditions across SSW Slovenia and NW Croatia as well.
