The Czech Republic is set to experience a significant winter weather shift, with heavy snowfall forecasted across the country this weekend, according to ČHMÚ.cz.

Residents are advised to prepare for snow tongues and drifts in certain areas, particularly in the north and northeast.

Saturday Weather Outlook

Saturday’s weather will bring variable and mostly heavy cloud cover, with frequent snow showers expected in the northeastern half of the country. In the north and northeast, snowfall may become more persistent throughout the day.

Meanwhile, the southwestern regions will see precipitation gradually become isolated. Temperatures overnight will range between -1°C and -5°C, with daytime highs reaching between -2°C and +2°C.

A moderate westerly wind will shift to northwesterly during the day, blowing at speeds of 3 to 7 m/s, with gusts reaching up to 15 m/s. Snow tongues are likely to form in the mountains of the north and northeast, and drifting snow may occur in exposed areas.

Sunday Weather Outlook

Sunday will bring cloudy to overcast skies, with some areas in the southwest seeing occasional breaks in the cloud cover. Snow showers or light snowfall are expected, particularly in the northeastern half of the country, while other regions will experience more isolated precipitation. Snowfall will taper off by the evening. Overnight temperatures will drop to -2°C to -6°C, with daytime highs between -3°C and +1°C.
