“While in southern Moravia there is currently (18:30) lighter snowfall in places, in northern Moravia or in Silesia we have reports of freezing drizzle (Rýmařovsko, Hlučínsko),” said meteorologists on the X network. Locally, according to them, surface temperatures, mainly from central locations, are still below zero. Where freezing drizzle occurs, a thin layer of ice can thus form, they added.
On Saturday night, temperatures should range from minus two to minus six degrees Celsius.
According to meteorologists, the ice can cause problems in traffic. People should be careful when moving outside. Drivers are advised to follow traffic reports and drive very carefully. Expect an increase in driving time.

While lighter snowfall is occurring in southern Moravia, the more pressing concern is the freezing drizzle impacting regions further north. Meteorologists, posting on the X network, warned that the drizzle is creating a thin layer of ice on surfaces, making walking and driving treacherous.
What temperatures are expected tonight? Temperatures are predicted to fall between minus two and minus six degrees Celsius Saturday night, exacerbating the icy conditions and potentially leading to widespread hazardous travel.
Authorities advise individuals to be mindful of their surroundings and take extra care when walking outside. Drivers are strongly encouraged to monitor traffic reports closely and drive with heightened awareness, allowing for significantly increased travel times. The combination of ice and cold temperatures demands a cautious approach to ensure safety.
