Bad Weather Expected Wednesday

A strong weather system will arrive on Wednesday. It will bring heavy rain and thunderstorms. Higher areas may even see snow. The forecast shows a low-pressure system from the Black Sea. This system will also bring strong winds and dust. Because of this, a yellow warning for wind has been issued. Some disruptions are expected. However, the weather should become calmer by the afternoon.

This strong weather is caused by a low-pressure system over the Black Sea. It is moving northeast. Its effect will be short but important. People should prepare for heavy rain. There might be intense thunderstorms, especially in western areas. In the mountains, the rain could turn into snow. This will bring winter weather to autumn.

There will also be dust in the air. This is because of the weather conditions. The dust should be visible until midday Wednesday. It may affect air quality and visibility. Strong winds will come with the rain and thunderstorms. Winds will be from the southwest or west. They will become very strong. In some places, winds could be near gale force. Sea conditions will become rough. This is a danger for boats. A yellow warning for strong winds will last until 4 PM.

Temperatures will be normal for this time of year until Friday. Inland and coastal areas will be mild, around 18°C. Mountain areas will be cooler, around 6°C. This temperature difference is why snow is possible in the mountains.

Later on Wednesday, the weather should improve. The rain and thunderstorms will become less intense. The winds will still be strong but should start to decrease. By Wednesday night, skies will be partly cloudy. There may be some showers, especially in the west. Snow might continue in the highest mountains. From Thursday to Saturday, the weather is expected to be more stable. Temperatures may rise slightly on Saturday. This means calmer weather will return. However, people must be careful on Wednesday because of the strong weather.
