A Mediterranean cyclone will remember winter on election day in Bulgaria. The low atmospheric pressure zone is expected to form along the Adriatic coast early in the weekend, with its center moving over Greece on Sunday and heading to the Black Sea, Nova TV reported. At the same time, a part of the cold Arctic air will slip from the northwest to the Balkans. This atmospheric configuration in the first days of April will create the conditions for a short-term drop in temperatures on Sunday during the day and on Monday morning.
On the day of the vote it will be cloudy and it will rain in most of the country. The rains will be most intense until noon in the southwestern areas of Bulgaria, and during the day they will move to the east. In the afternoon and evening, temperatures in the Fore-Balkans and high places in western Bulgaria will drop to critical values, where even at lower altitudes rain will begin to mix with wet snow. And in the mountain ranges of the southwest and Stara Planina it will rain heavily with accumulation of snow cover.
According to the European ECMWF prediction model, shared by Nova TV, the snow cover in some mountainous areas will increase another 15-20 cm, while in the lowlands the snow will not be able to last long. Accumulation, although in modest amounts, is still possible in areas such as Dragoman, Godech, Trun, Dupnitsa, and Pernik and Kyustendil.
Spring snows are also coming in the Sofia region. In the heart of the capital, coverage will be difficult to maintain, but in the higher neighborhoods at the foot of Vitosha Mountain, as well as in the surrounding hills west of Pernik, north of Petrohan and east of Vitinya, low temperatures.
Traffic complications can be expected on Sunday afternoon and early Monday on the roads and mountain passes in the west and center of Stara Planina, as well as those of the Rhodopes, Rila, Pirin, Vitosha and in our Western border.
