coast and the Balkan coast. The Balkans will experience more consistent
rain in the evening, some potentially heavy or even snowy at high
inland areas.
A weakening low at the Germany/Poland border will push east driving a
band of rain southeastward across central Europe. This will drop snow
on the Swiss and Austrian Alps. The low will push through Poland
bringing rain and increased winds across the northern European plain
and eastward into Belarus, Lithuania, and western Ukraine. Passing of
the rain will bring brighter conditions and the possibility of
extensive sunshine, particularly in northern France, western Germany,
and the Low Countries.
Southern Scandinavia will experience similar conditions. Morning rain
in Denmark and southern Sweden will clear to the east, bringing
intermittent sun and cold winds. Stronger winds will blow on the

more extensive cloud may form, but otherwise only scattered clouds.
Clouds will be more extensive on the Iberian Peninsula. Moderate

islands between Spain and Italy will experience greater cloud coverage
than days past but remain dry. Expect dry and mostly sunny conditions
across Italy after some morning showers in the southeast move away.
Low pressure continues to dominate over the Aegean Sea, facilitating
heavy rains along the coasts with frequent showers and sun spells on
nearby the islands. Rains and winds will decrease north of Greece,
though clouds likely to remain over the Balkans. Afternoon sun will
push southward through Hungary, northern Croatia and Albania. The high
